Chapel of Bones of Faro

Tucked behind the Carmo Church, this unique 19th-century chapel is famously constructed from the bones and skulls of over 1,000 Carmelite monks. The interior features striking geometric patterns of femurs and skulls, serving as a profound 'memento mori' and a standout gothic landmark in the Algarve.

Visitors are deeply fascinated by the unique and 'metal' aesthetic of the Bone Chapel, often preferring its historical intrigue over typical beach excursions. The overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many describing the site as a cool and interesting alternative to traditional tourist activities in Faro.
