Carmo Church

The Carmo Catholic Church forms part of Portugal's national heritage. It was founded in 1736 and opened for worship on July 24, 1768. Visitors can see the hidden house (the narrowest house in Porto), the church, the catacombs, the treasury and three other rooms with old paintings and vestments. The church is characterized by a mixture of Baroque and Rococo styles and a stunning exterior façade full of decorations and flanked by two statues of the prophets Elijah and Elisha carved in Italy.
