【艾羅拉 ~ 人骨禮拜堂 // The Bone Chapel in Évora】
在葡萄牙國內, 有一個非常有名的人骨教堂, 正確點說, 是一所人骨禮拜堂 – Capela dos Ossos / The Bone Chapel。
人骨禮拜堂位於艾羅拉市 (Évora)。 早在1986年, 被中世紀城牆所包圍的艾羅拉舊城區, 就已被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺址。
In Portugal, there is a very well-known bone chapel. In Portuguese, Bone Chapel is called "Capela dos Ossos" (Chapel of Bones).
The Capela dos Ossos is located in Évora. Its well-preserved old town centre - partially enclosed by medieval walls - has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.
人骨禮拜堂位於聖方濟各教堂 (Igreja deSão Francisco) 右側, 走過幽靜的長廊就到達。之所以稱為人骨禮拜堂, 是因為這個禮拜堂內部的四壁和支柱是由5000多具人骨組成! 牆壁和支柱用死人的腿骨砌成, 間中以頭髏骨鑲嵌做裝飾; 而天花皆是畫並以頭髏骨作鑲邊。
The Capela dos Ossos is a small interior chapel situated just next to the entrance of the Church of St. Francis (Igreja deSão Francisco). It gets its name because the interior walls are covered and decorated with about 5,000 human skulls and bones. The walls and central pillars are covered with human skulls and other parts of skeletons, held together by cement.
