VISIT

CARMO CHURCH

he Gothic ruins of ‘Igreja do Carmo’ are simply stunning despite their devastated state. They are solemn reminders of the destructive earthquake of 1755, which occurred during a mass service.

The beauty formed out of the horrendous destruction is irony of sorts, and now is home to an archaeological museum which becomes just an extra reason to visit Chiado.

Largo do Carmo, 1200-092 Lisbon, Portugal
