Archaeological Museum of Karmo

Igreja do Carmo, Museu Arqueológico do Carmo, Archaeological Museum of the Church of Carmo
Portugal, Lisbon
The Carmo Archaeological Museum is located among the ruins of a former Carmelite monastery, on a hill accessible by the Santa Justa elevator. The monastery was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755, only the altar of the Gothic church do Carmo has survived. In 1864, a museum was opened here, which began to receive artifacts from archaeological sites in different parts of the country. In the museum you can see the tomb of Queen Mary Anna of Austria, the tombstone of King Ferdinand I, sculptures and ceramics, mosaics and coins of the 13th century, ancient tombstones, artifacts of pre-Columbian America, a collection of stone weapons from 101 exhibits. At the entrance to the museum there is a stone with an engraved Gothic text informing that Pope Clement VII grants 40 days of indulgence to all believing Christians who visit this temple.
