Carmo Church

Vitória

The church of the Carmelite Third Order was built between 1756 and 1768, with a Baroque and Rococo façade. Its signature is the side wall, covered in 1912 by a huge blue-and-white azulejo panel telling the story of the Carmelite order's founding.

It stands right against the Carmelitas church, and between the two is a house barely a metre wide, the «Hidden House», built so the two churches would not share a wall. It can be visited on a route that also takes in the catacombs and the sacristy.
