We will visit the emblematic Chapel of Bones! In Baroque style, the Bones Chapel was built in the 17th century by three Franciscan friars whose goal was to convey the message of the transience and fragility of human life. This message is clearly passed to the visitors at the entrance, through the warning: "We who are here, for yours we await".
