3. 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.

About Lisbon

Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.

The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.

Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
