carmelite church

Igreja dos Carmelitas, Igreja dos Carmelitas Descalços, Carmelitas Church
Portugal, Porto
The Carmelite Church is located in the historic center of Porto, it is connected in a single ensemble with the Carmo Church. This temple was built in the 17th century. and was previously part of the monastic complex of the Carmelite order.
The facade of the church is made in the style of classicism and has a very austere appearance. In the appearance of the temple, a low bell tower, covered with azulejo tiles and crowned with a dome, stands out. In contrast to the modest appearance, the interior of the church surprises with an abundance of gilding and rich decor inherent in the lush Baroque style.
The Church of Carmelitas, along with the Church of Carmo, was inscribed as a National Monument in Portugal in 2013.

The building of the Karmelitas church often attracts attention with its unusual facade - after all, it is divided into two whole temples (the second is the Karmu church), separated by a narrow house, only 1 m wide. This small church was built in 1628-1650. as part of the monastery of the Carmelite order. In the 19th century after the abolition of monastic orders in Portugal, the monastic part of the building was turned into the barracks of the National Guard. The main facade of the church is made in the style of classicism - everything here is very restrained and strict: three niches with statues of saints, a bell tower and a small portico.
