The Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a 17th-century religious complex known for its lavish Baroque decoration. The church interior dazzles with gilded woodwork, intricate stucco, and colorful azulejos. Visitors can also stroll through the peaceful cloister and gardens, which retain a sense of monastic calm. The convent's facade is equally impressive, with a grand portal and twin bell towers that dominate the skyline of Lagoa.
