Portugal – Guimarães/ Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo-Église Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel/Le cloître

            The church dates from the end of the 17th century, construction began in 1685 and bears witness to the Baroque style, its founder is unknown. It was dedicated to Saint Teresa, a Spanish Carmelite nun, active as a reformer in the 16th century. At the beginning of the 1700s, a papal bull authorized members of the assembly of Saint Thérèse to wear the veil of the barefoot Carmelites, already under the invocation of Saint Joseph. The main altar, however, is dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Carmo (Our Lady of Mount Carmel), the name of the Virgin Mary as patroness of the Carmelite Order. The body of the church is separated from the choir by a stone arch, and is enriched by two side altars: that of the Gospel, dedicated to Saint Anne and of the Epistle, Nossa Senhora do Carmo. In the old choir, which is accessed by a staircase, another altar is dedicated to the crucified Christ. In Portugal in the 1830s, with the official dissolution of the religious orders, the church and the convent passed into the possession of the State which used them for a time as a military hospital. From 1862, the building began to house the current "Lar de Santa Estefânia," a lay Christian movement.

L'église date de la fin du XVIIe siècle, la construction débute en 1685 et témoigne du style baroque, son fondateur est inconnu. Elle était dédiée à Sainte Thérèse, une religieuse carmélite espagnole, active comme réformatrice au XVIe siècle. Au début des années 1700, une bulle papale autorise les personnes de l'assemblée de sainte Thérèse à porter le voile des carmélites aux pieds nus, deja sous l'invocation de saint Joseph. L'autel principal est cependant dédié à Nossa Senhora do Carmo (Notre-Dame du Mont Carmel), le nom de la Vierge Marie en tant que patronne de l'Ordre des Carmélites. Le corps de l'église est séparé du chœur par un arc en pierre, et s'enrichit de deux autels latéraux : celui de l'Évangile, dédié à sainte Anne et de l'Épître, Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Dans l'ancien chœur auquel on accède par un escalier,  un autre autel est dédié au Christ crucifié. Au Portugal dans les années 1830, avec la dissolution officielle des ordres religieux, l'église et le couvent passèrent en possession de l'État qui les utilisèrent pendant un temps comme hôpital militaire. À partir de 1862, le bâtiment a commencé à abriter l'actuel « Lar de Santa Estefânia, » un mouvement chrétien laïc.
