Oporto - Igreja do Carmo

To the northwest of Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, opposite the University, on the Praça de Gomes Teixeira, are two adjoining churches. To the right is the Igreja do Carmo (1756), its east end covered with 19th C. blue azulejos, and to the left the Igreja das Carmelitas (1619 28), both of them containing richly gilded altars.
