Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Carmo Convent)

The Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Convento do Carmo) is a medieval Carmelite complex in Lisbon's historic parish of Santa Maria Maior. The site is notable for its ruined Gothic Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the visible southern façade of which remains as a primary surviving trace of the catastrophic 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The provided source identifies the convent as a former Catholic institution and emphasizes the physical legacy of the earthquake as the explanation for the site's ruined condition.
