Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos), Church of São Francisco, Évora

Highlight • Religious Site

For the entrance fee of 5 € you get the unique opportunity to see an ossuary. It used to be an honor here to be so closely connected to the church buildings with one's bones. Skulls, thigh bones, and pelvic bones are piled up everywhere. Not for everyone, but while you're here, take the chance.

5,000 Skulls in the Chapel of Bones

Highlight • Religious Site

The number of human skeletons is estimated at around 5,000 and comes from cemeteries and churches in the area, where Franciscan monks were often buried. Many of these skulls are inscribed with the name of the deceased—a truly impressive experience. The inscription above the entrance reads:
"We bones who lie here wait until we get yours."

Roman Temple of Évora

Highlight • Historical Site

This Roman temple was built in the first century AD. For a long time it was thought to be dedicated to the goddess Diana. Today it is fairly certain that it was built as a sign of conquest.

University of Évora, Mitra Campus.

Highlight • Settlement

Today, the Mitra Experimental Estate, together with the Mitra College and the Bom Jesus de Valverde College, is part of the Mitra Campus of the University of Évora. This includes a set of buildings that include laboratories and facilities of the MED (Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development), other laboratories, classrooms, offices and various support infrastructures, as well as housing for visiting professors and researchers. The agricultural area used is mainly occupied by cork and holm oak groves, scrubland and pastures, also including olive groves, pine forests and vineyards, in addition to the vegetable garden and orchard. The habitats associated with these areas are joined by the area surrounding the Valverde river, corresponding to the former hunting ground, which has a considerable wealth of flora and fauna. The Mitra Estate is therefore a living laboratory of inestimable value for the scientific activities and teaching of the University of Évora.
