Carmo Archaeological Museum
See ruins of Carmo Archaeological Museum, Lisbon's only church built almost entirely in Gothic style, which was destroyed by the 1755 earthquake. Today the site serves as an archaeological museum. Completed in 1423, the church was said to be the most lavish and imposing in the city at the time. Today you can tour the interior to see its remains and visit exhibits of various artifacts, architectural adornments, and noteworthy excavated items. View tombs of notable persons, such as King Ferdinand I, and see statues, Spanish-Moorish tiles, findings from the Roman and Visigoth periods, and relics dating back to 3500 BCE.

It was a magnificent site and I was appalled to see this “church with no roof “ which is still so beautiful and grand. It’s amazing that even after about 260 years and 2 earth quakes and tsunami, these walls and arches are still standing on the ground. The museum is amazing as well and exhibits are very impressive. I believe this is one of must see site in Lisbon. Strongly recommended.

Had a interesting visit learning and discovering history. We went for the Lisbon under stars light show and it was great. Little bit too crowded and could have had a bit more details. Ruins itself is pretty simple and fast to observe, but overall a good visit.

This was a fantastic Gem hidden in the heart of Lisbon. We were just walking around the city streets scouting a place for Dinner when we found it. Again, this is another place where it is mainly a self guided tour. But there was fantastic history to see in here. These are such valuable pieces of History that need to be cherished and cared for. A MUST see if visiting Lisbon in my opinion.

A beautiful standing witness to the 1755 earthquake. Impressive architecture. Chambers of history going back to the BC. Entry fee is 5Euro. A quick tour, not a big convent/museum. Can also enjoy the star at the night show.
-
The convent is very impressive and walking around there is lots to see. The engraved stonework around the sides to the stone window frames. It was fairly busy but seemed peaceful. When toy go to the far end into the building you see statues and decorated walls. On the floor are glass platforms and you see steps and passages which unfortunately are closed off
