About Igreja do Carmo

It is said that this one-meter-wide house was actually built to keep the nuns and the monks separated. The house is also called the hidden house and has served as a residence in the past for artists and chaplains who worked at the church. The Carmelitas Church was built in the 17th century and was a part of the convent.

The church has amazing baroque and rococo-style architecture with wood carvings. Once you enter the church, you can visit the main altar and chapels located inside the church. You can also witness the beautiful classical facade with a bell tower and gilded interior. One of the interesting facts is that the church was also used as a barrack during the French invasion.
