Nós ossos que aqui estamos, pelos vossos esperamos

This greeting, translated to We bones that are here are waiting for you, will welcome you into Évora's morbid Capela dos Ossos.

This chapel was built with the bones of over 5000 people. If visiting this site doesn't give you an overdose on the reality of your own mortality, I don't know what else will.
