The Roman Temple of Évora dates from the 1st century AD, it was located on the highest part of the Acropolis, today the historic center of the city of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This temple symbolized the religious and political power of the city.
The Capela dos Ossos was built in the 17th century, following a model then in vogue, with the intention of provoking reflection on the transience of human life and the consequent commitment to a permanent Christian experience through the image. Both the walls and the pillars are covered with a few thousand bones and skulls, from the burial spaces connected to the convent. The frescoes that decorate the vaulted ceiling, dating from 1810, present a variety of symbols illustrated by biblical passages and others with the instruments of the Passion of Christ. At the exit of the chapel, on the opposite wall, a tile panel, by the architect Siza Vieira, contrasts the miracle of life with the allusion of death.
