The chapel you need to see to believe in Évora, Portugal! 🇵🇹

Описание: Evora was a delightful city to explore in Portugal, contrasted by its creepy sounding Chapel of Bones! But the chapel turns out to be far more reflective than creepy...

We arrived in Evora after experiencing a week of rain in northern Portugal, and we were thrilled that the sun was out! Unfortunately, we both managed to catch a cold (thanks, rain) - it definitely was not you-know-what (we tested 4x while sick, none of them were positive). We didn't let the colds hold us back though! After admiring the architecture, we set out for the Chapel of Bones - one of the main sites found in Evora.

The Chapel of Bones is several hundred years old, and although we expected it to feel a little creepy (5,000+ bones are inside!), it wasn't creepy at all. It was far more of a reflective experience, with a poem inside that aided in the reflection.

Poem inside the Chapel of Bones (English translation):
Where are you going in such a hurry, traveler?
Stop...do not proceed any further.
You have no greater concern,
Than this one: that on which you focus your sight.

Recall how many have passed from this world,
Reflect on your similar end.
There is good reason to reflect;
If only all did the same.

Ponder, you so influenced by fate,
Among the many concerns of the world,
So little do you reflect on death.

If by chance you glance at this place,
Stop ... for the sake of your journey,
The more you pause, the more you will progress.
