The Carmo Convent is a ruined Gothic church in Lisbon, its roofless nave a poignant testament to the devastating 1755 earthquake. Visitors walk among the skeletal arches and explore the adjacent Carmo Archaeological Museum, which displays a fascinating collection of artifacts from prehistoric times to the medieval period, including tombs, tiles, and a Peruvian mummy. The site offers a unique blend of history, architecture, and archaeology in a serene, contemplative setting.
