Church of the Third Order of Our Lady of Karma

Igreja do Carmo, Igreja da Venerável Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, Carmo Church
Portugal, Porto
Karmu Church was built in the 18th century. and is an excellent example of the late Baroque style. It is connected to the neighboring Church of the Carmelites by the narrowest house in the world, only 1 m wide, and forms a single ensemble with it.
The façade of the Karmu temple is richly decorated with decorative pilasters, cornices and balustrades, and in its center are statues of the prophets Elijah and Elisha. Outside, the side wall of the temple is decorated with a picture of white and blue azulejo tiles on the theme of the founding of the Carmelite Order on Mount Carmel.
Karmu Church has one nave, which houses seven side gilded chapels and a luxurious main altar. Its interior design is elegant: the abundance of gilded wooden carvings and the rich decor of the church attract attention here.

Karmu Church is adjacent to the Carmelite Temple and at first glance it may seem that this is one large building. However, in fact, these two churches are separated by the narrowest house in the world, one meter wide. It is noteworthy that this house was inhabited until 1980 and it was built because, according to the law, two religious buildings could not stand wall to wall, and also to ensure chastity between the monks of the church and the novices of the Carmelite temple. The church do Carmo was built in the second half of the 18th century.
