Convento do Carmo / Carmo's Convent - a photo on Flickriver

            O Convento da Ordem do Carmo de Lisboa ergue-se numa posição privilegiada, sobranceira ao Rossio (Praça de D. Pedro IV), e próxima ao morro do Castelo de São Jorge. A igreja do convento, que já foi a principal igreja gótica de Lisboa, ficou em ruínas devido ao Terramoto de 1755 e é uma das principais marcas deixadas pelo terremoto ainda visíveis na cidade. Actualmente as ruínas são sede do Museu Arqueológico do Carmo.

The Carmo Convent (Portuguese: Convento da Ordem do Carmo) is a monument located in the city of Lisbon, in Portugal. The mediaeval convent was ruined in the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake, and the ruins of its Gothic church (the Carmo Church or Igreja do Carmo) are the main trace of the great earthquake still visible in the city.

The Carmo Convent is located in the Chiado neighbourhood, on a hill overlooking the Rossio square and facing the Lisbon Castle hill. It is located in front of a quiet square (Carmo Square), very close to the Santa Justa Lift.

Nowadays the ruined Carmo Church is used as an archaeological museum (the Museu Arqueológico do Carmo or Carmo Archaeological Museum).
