Baroque, Rococo and heritage

Igreja da Ordem Terceira do Carmo

A historic church beside Antiga Sé

Photo of Igreja da Ordem Terceira do Carmo

The church has richly decorated interiors and forms part of one of Praça XV’s most important religious complexes.

The stone facade and Baroque and Rococo ornamentation.

History

It was built by Ordem Terceira do Carmo during the colonial period, beside the former Carmelite complex.

My tip

Do not confuse it with Antiga Sé next door. Observe both facades and enter both when open.

Opening hours, tickets, programming and visiting conditions may change. Check with the institution before traveling.
