It was built in the 16th century and measures approximately 18 metres long by 11 metres wide.<\/p><p>The walls, columns, and ceiling of the chapel are covered with the bones and skulls of approximately 5,000 human remains, exhumed from the Franciscan order&#8217;s cemeteries in and around \u00c9vora. These were not anonymous medieval victims. They were largely monks and members of the Franciscan community, whose remains were moved here as the cemeteries ran out of space.<\/p><p>The chapel is not a crypt. It is an active place of worship \u2014 or was, historically. Visitors enter through the Igreja de S\u00e3o Francisco and pass through the main nave before reaching the chapel entrance. The ceiling of the chapel is painted with religious frescoes that remain partially visible, though they have faded significantly over the centuries.<\/p><p>The bones are set into the plaster and mortar of the walls. Skulls alternate with femurs in repeating patterns. The effect is architectural as much as it is macabre \u2014 the monks applied the same compositional logic they would have used for any decorative element. Symmetry, repetition, hierarchy.<\/p><p>I find that people who come expecting a horror experience are often surprised. The chapel is quiet. It is not dramatic in the way that photographs suggest.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d49ea62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d49ea62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"965\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-Wall-in-Chapel-of-Bones.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-275291\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-Wall-in-Chapel-of-Bones.webp 640w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-Wall-in-Chapel-of-Bones-199x300.webp 199w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-Wall-in-Chapel-of-Bones-8x12.webp 8w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-Wall-in-Chapel-of-Bones-600x905.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a04fee1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a04fee1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-20188e4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"20188e4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0329e55\" data-id=\"0329e55\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bbc8b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2bbc8b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>Who Built It and Why?<\/h2><div><p>The &#8220;why&#8221; is the answer most visitors get wrong \u2014 they assume punishment or spectacle. The real reason is demographic and theological.<\/p><p>The chapel was constructed in the 16th century by three Franciscan monks whose names are not recorded in surviving documents. The construction took place against a specific historical backdrop: \u00c9vora was, at the time, one of the largest cities in Portugal, functioning as the secondary royal court and a major centre of Franciscan activity. The Franciscans operated multiple convents and cemeteries in the area, and by the 1500s, these cemeteries had accumulated an unsustainable number of interments \u2014 estimated at around 45 cemeteries in and around \u00c9vora alone.<\/p><p>The practical problem was space. The theological context was *memento mori* \u2014 the Catholic practice of keeping death visible as a discipline against pride and attachment to earthly life. The Counter-Reformation, which began formally with the Council of Trent (1545\u20131563), intensified this tendency. Ossuaries and bone chapels were constructed across Catholic Europe during this period: the Sedlec Ossuary in Bohemia (built 14th century, decorated 1870), the Capuchin Crypt in Rome (17th century), and the Chapel of Bones in \u00c9vora all reflect the same theological impulse, though each was built independently.<\/p><p>The monks who built the \u00c9vora chapel were not trying to frighten visitors. They were constructing what they understood as a devotional space \u2014 a reminder that biological life is temporary and that what follows it, in Christian theology, is not. The bones are displayed to be seen. The inscription is placed where it cannot be missed. The combination was deliberate.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b951666 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b951666\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evora-Igreja-e-Mosteiro-de-Sao-Francisco.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-275289\" alt=\"Evora-Igreja-e-Mosteiro-de-Sao-Francisco\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evora-Igreja-e-Mosteiro-de-Sao-Francisco.webp 1024w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evora-Igreja-e-Mosteiro-de-Sao-Francisco-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evora-Igreja-e-Mosteiro-de-Sao-Francisco-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evora-Igreja-e-Mosteiro-de-Sao-Francisco-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evora-Igreja-e-Mosteiro-de-Sao-Francisco-600x400.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-322974b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"322974b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e03bf05 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e03bf05\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ac0b39\" data-id=\"2ac0b39\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56e3f60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56e3f60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>The Inscription Above the Door<\/h2><div><p>The inscription is the most-discussed element of the chapel. Most online sources quote the first line. The full text is more interesting \u2014 and harder to find in English.<\/p><p>The inscription above the chapel&#8217;s entrance reads, in full:<\/p><p><b>&#8220;N\u00f3s ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos.&#8221;<\/b><\/p><p>This translates directly as: <b>&#8220;We bones here are waiting for yours.&#8221;<\/b><\/p><p>The sentence is written in the first-person plural from the perspective of the dead \u2014 the bones themselves are speaking. This is a rhetorical device known as *prosopopeia* (giving voice to inanimate objects or the dead), common in medieval and early modern European literature and funerary art.<\/p><p>The phrase is not a threat or a curse. In context, it is an invitation to reflection: the people who made these bones were once alive; the people reading this inscription will eventually join them. The chapel frames death not as an ending but as a threshold \u2014 consistent with Franciscan theology and *memento mori* tradition.<\/p><p>The authorship of the inscription is unknown. It is not attributed to any specific person in \u00c9vora&#8217;s historical records. Variations of the phrase appear in other European ossuaries, suggesting it may have been a common formula rather than a local original. The earliest verified use in \u00c9vora dates to the chapel&#8217;s construction in the 16th century.<\/p><p>Some visitors misread the Portuguese as aggressive or morbid.

After passing through the main nave of the church, visitors reach a doorway flanked by bones and topped with the famous inscription. The interior space is approximately 18 \u00d7 11 metres \u2014 small enough that a single camera position captures most of it.<\/p><p>The walls from floor to approximately two-thirds of the ceiling height are covered with bones set in mortar. Skulls are placed at regular intervals. Femurs, tibias, and other long bones form the bulk of the wall surface. The pattern is deliberate rather than random. In the columns and archways, bones are arranged concentrically, with skulls marking structural points.<\/p><p>The ceiling is vaulted and painted. The frescoes depict religious and allegorical scenes \u2014 skeletons, hourglasses, crosses \u2014 in a style consistent with 16th\u201317th century Portuguese religious art. The paint has faded and, in sections, flaked away, but the imagery remains legible.<\/p><p>At the far end of the chapel, there are two withered human bodies suspended from the wall. These are not bones. They are desiccated corpses. One is said to be a man; one is said to be a child. Local tradition has attributed these to a curse \u2014 a story involving an alleged wife-murderer \u2014 but this attribution is not documented in verifiable historical sources. The corpses have been in the chapel for an unknown period and are displayed without formal explanation.<\/p><p>Natural light enters through small windows on one side of the chapel. There is no artificial lighting beyond ambient sources. The chapel is cooler than the church nave.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-783525a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"783525a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inside-Chapel-of-Bones-Evora-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-275288\" alt=\"Inside Chapel of Bones Evora\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inside-Chapel-of-Bones-Evora-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inside-Chapel-of-Bones-Evora-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inside-Chapel-of-Bones-Evora-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inside-Chapel-of-Bones-Evora-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inside-Chapel-of-Bones-Evora.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac97ced elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ac97ced\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-56ad3ad elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"56ad3ad\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0ad6952\" data-id=\"0ad6952\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63497a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"63497a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>The Two Bodies Hanging from the Wall<\/h2><div><p>This element surprises most visitors more than the bones. It deserves separate treatment because the popular story around it is largely folklore.<\/p><p>Of everything in the Chapel of Bones, the two suspended corpses are the element that visitors mention most frequently and about which the least reliable information circulates online.<\/p><p>The bodies are mummified through desiccation rather than chemical preservation. They hang from iron fixtures in the chapel wall. One is adult-sized; one is notably smaller, consistent with a child&#8217;s proportions. Interpretive materials at the chapel describe them as male and female, or as an adult and a child, depending on the source \u2014 the accounts are inconsistent.<\/p><p>The most widely repeated story is that the adult is a man who murdered his wife and son, and that the woman&#8217;s family placed a curse on the bodies so they would never decompose. This narrative appears in local guides, travel blogs, and tourist materials. It does not appear in documented historical sources. The corpses are real; the story attached to them is local folklore of uncertain origin.<\/p><p>What is documented: the bodies have been in the chapel for at least several hundred years. Their identity has not been established by modern forensic analysis. The \u00c9vora municipality and the Diocese of \u00c9vora have not released findings on the bodies&#8217; origin.<\/p><p>They are displayed openly, without glass or barriers. Most visitors are not prepared for this \u2014 the shift from bone-architecture to intact bodies produces a noticeably different reaction.<\/p><p>I tell clients about this before we enter. Not to manage expectations, but because it is genuinely different from the rest of the chapel and deserves a sentence of preparation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb7a874 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fb7a874\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Interior-Chapal-of-BOnes.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-275287\" alt=\"Interior Chapal of BOnes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Interior-Chapal-of-BOnes.jpg 529w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Interior-Chapal-of-BOnes-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Interior-Chapal-of-BOnes-10x12.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2356391 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2356391\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c8fbf5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c8fbf5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa06a21\" data-id=\"aa06a21\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be2ae4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be2ae4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>History of the Building \u2014 Igreja de S\u00e3o Francisco<\/h2><div><p>The chapel exists within a much larger church that is significant in its own right. Understanding the building helps.<\/p><p>The Igreja de S\u00e3o Francisco is one of the most important Gothic-Manueline buildings in Portugal. Construction began in approximately 1460, during the reign of King Afonso V, and was completed in the early 16th century under King Manuel I. The church was built on the site of an earlier Franciscan convent and served as the royal chapel of the \u00c9vora court during the period when the Portuguese court was based in the city.<\/p><p>The exterior of the church is late Gothic in structure with Manueline decorative elements \u2014 twisted columns, maritime motifs, the armillary sphere associated with Manuel I. The main portal is flanked by Gothic towers and features the royal coat of arms of Portugal. The nave is 67 metres long and 22 metres wide, making it one of the largest Gothic interiors in Portugal.<\/p><p>The Franciscan order occupied the site from the 13th century. After the suppression of religious orders in Portugal in 1834, the church was transferred to diocesan control and reopened as a parish church. The Chapel of Bones was preserved through this transition and continued to receive visitors.<\/p><p>The chapel is accessible from the south transept of the church. Entry to the church itself is free; the chapel requires a separate ticket.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f37371 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6f37371\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapel-of-bones-Interior.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-275286\" alt=\"Interior Chapal of BOnes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapel-of-bones-Interior.jpg 804w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapel-of-bones-Interior-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapel-of-bones-Interior-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapel-of-bones-Interior-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapel-of-bones-Interior-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8f4479 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e8f4479\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d18f78 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8d18f78\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f9e29d5\" data-id=\"f9e29d5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a36c4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0a36c4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Visiting Practical Guide \u2014 Hours, Tickets, Tips<\/h2><div><p>The operational facts that every article about this site needs but most bury at the bottom.<\/p><p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Igreja de S\u00e3o Francisco, Pra\u00e7a 1 de Maio, 7000-650 \u00c9vora.
