Carmo Convent Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Carmo Monastery is located in the Chiado district of Lisbon, next to the Santa Justa Lift and facing the São Jorge Castle Hill. It is located in the quiet Piazza del Carmo, once in ruins during the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, and the ruins of its Gothic church are the main remnants of the earthquake that can still be seen in the city. The cobbled streets beside the monastery and the facades of the old buildings reveal a strong sense of history. Much of the building was destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, and today the monastery has been turned into an open-air museum of religious sculpture and carvings - the Museu Arqueológico do Carmo (Museu Arqueológico do Carmo). The museum is divided into two exhibition rooms on the left and right, displaying some fine works of modern archaeological discoveries in Portugal, such as stone statues, sarcophagi, mummies and so on. There is a hidden path next to the monastery, which leads to the top of the Santa Justa Lift. From there, looking around, it feels like the whole city is in front of you, and you can see the Rossio Square nearby.

Karmo Monastery is one of the oldest and most important monasteries in Lisbon. Before the Lisbon earthquake, it was the main Catholic Church in Lisbon. However, due to the devastation of the earthquake, there is only one large frame left. But it's still very grand. Coming to Lisbon, the monastery is worth seeing.
This is a very magnificent monastery, the monastery nuns invented the egg tart, resulting in the famous Portuguese egg tart at home and abroad!
The Carmo Abbey (Portuguese: Convento da Ordem do Carmo) is a historical building in Lisbon, Portugal. The century-old building was ruined in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, and the ruins of its Gothic church are the main traces of the earthquake that can still be seen in the city.
Visiting Igreja do Carmo in Porto is one of the must-see attractions. The 18th century Igreja do Carmo Church in the old city centre looks like only one church in the old city centre. In fact, it forms a unique complex of three buildings with Carmelite Church and the narrowest house in Portugal about one meter wide in the centre. There are not many shrines among the followers. The dome of the shrines is beautiful. There are also long-term historical traces. Blue-and-white tile murals cover the whole outer murals and depict the scene created by the Catholic Hermitage. Apart from the complete story, the figure's outline and expression are also clear. The details of the three-dimensional murals are amazing. Portugal's ceramic tile technology is truly unparalleled.
Igreja do Carmo, a Catholic center in Lisbon for more than 300 years before the 1755 earthquake, is one of the few medieval buildings left to this day and one of the most memorable historical sites in the old city of Lisbon, although its roof has been incomplete, its roof has collapsed, and its pointed arch spires point directly to the blue sky. The Museu Arqueol & _3; gico do Carmo Archaeological Museum is now located in the ruins of the Kalmo Cathedral. The entrance is the ticket office with 3.5 euros per ticket. From the side door to the church, the tall bundles on both sides and the incomplete spiral arch stone frame all show the magnificent momentum of the church's architecture. Walking down the empty passageway between the broken walls of the Karmo church and entering the back hall with two automatic doors blocked is the Karmo Archaeological Museum. The Museum has two exhibition rooms on the left and right, which display some of Portuguese modern archaeological finds, such as stone figures, sarcophagus, mummies and so on.
