The building of the Karmelitas church often attracts attention with its unusual facade - after all, it is divided into two whole temples (the second is the Karmu church), separated by a narrow house, only 1 m wide. This small church was built in 1628-1650. as part of the monastery of the Carmelite order. In the 19th century after the abolition of monastic orders in Portugal, the monastic part of the building was turned into the barracks of the National Guard.

The main facade of the church is made in the style of classicism - everything here is very restrained and strict: three niches with statues of saints, a bell tower and a small portico. Inside the church is richly decorated, especially the gold trim of the side chapels and the main altar is impressive. Entrance to the church is free, so you can safely and at no extra cost admire its magnificent interior decoration.
