Nestled away from the bustling tourist trails of Faro, the Capela Dos Ossos, or the Bone Chapel, offers one of the most peculiar sights you'll encounter. Tucked within the Carmo church complex, this tiny chapel holds a haunting beauty that’s both eerie and fascinating. The bones from Faro's overcrowded cemeteries were carefully arranged to form the chapel's macabre decor, with skulls meticulously lining the walls. It's a chilling yet captivating experience that leaves a lasting impression.
Faro, a charming city in the Algarve region, is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. While the Bone Chapel is undeniably unique, Faro also boasts stunning coastal views and a lively old town, perfect for exploring on foot. As you wander through its cobblestone streets, you’ll discover quaint cafes, intriguing museums, and vibrant street art that tell stories of the city's past and present.
