The Chapel of Bones in Faro, Portugal is a quirky and slightly spooky chapel made entirely of human bones. Built by Carmelite monks in 1816, the walls are constructed from femurs with skulls and bones decorating the interior. The highlight is a complete skeleton covered in gold hanging at the front. It's definitely a unique and eerie sight worth checking out if you're in the area!
