<p>Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Saúde (Church Of Our Lady Of Health), Serpa, Portugal</p><p>Inside this Portuguese cemetery lies a Baroque gem. The old chapel had a gold-gilded altar and polychrome tiled walls. A small wooden door leads to a hidden ossuary, a place filled with ornate wooden caskets. The carved boxes containing bones are blanketed in dust. A hauntingly beautiful reflection on mortality.</p><p><a href="/tags/darktourism/" rel="tag">#DarkTourism</a> <a href="/tags/ossuary/" rel="tag">#Ossuary</a> <a href="/tags/portugal/" rel="tag">#Portugal</a> <a href="/tags/cemetery/" rel="tag">#Cemetery</a> <a href="/tags/bones/" rel="tag">#Bones</a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#Photography</a> <a href="/tags/funerary/" rel="tag">#Funerary</a></p>
