They lined the small room in the Church of S\u00e3o Francisco with 5,000 people&#8217;s skulls and bones, hanging the desiccated corpses of an unnamed adult and child for extra brutality. The builder&#8217;s bodies are buried here, slain by Napoleon&#8217;s invading army, and the entrance to this wonderfully macabre tourist attraction is marked with the extra-epic phrase, <em>N\u00f3s ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos<\/em> &#8211;
