The Carmo Ruins and Archeological
Museum was a fascinating space to be in.
The Church of the Convent of Santa Maria do Carmo, founded in 1389, was one of Lisbon’s most beautiful gothic churches.
The 1755 earthquake caused serious damage to the building. Reconstruction started the next year, but was ‘suspended’ in 1834.
Around 1864 the Camo Archeoligical
Museum was installed here.
There are pieces that pre-date the first Roman occupation. There are even three Egyptian mummies here!
It is truly a fascination space.
