Church of rococo baroque style, built at the end of the eighteenth century in the square of Gomes Teixeira in Porto.

Built at the end of the 18th century on the Gomes Teixeira square, opposite the university rectorate, the Carmelite church is in the Rococo Baroque style. The rectangular portal of its main façade is surmounted by a balcony and richly decorated corbels, with 4 statues representing the 4 evangelists at its top. The interior is illuminated by the main altar and the side chapels in gilded wood. Its side facade with enough room to catch the light, which highlights magnificent panels ofazulejos, dates from 1912.

L'église do Carmo, proche du vieux Porto, vaut un petit détour, d'abord parce qu'elle est accolée à une autre église (das Carmelitas, baroque comme la première) et qu'elle présente un mur entier d'azulejos (façade latérale droite). Certes, ce n'est pas la seule église de Porto à être décorée de cette manière, mais l'ensemble est intéressant.
