About this spot: What looks like just one big church is actually two connected by what is one of the world’s narrowest houses – just 1 meter wide.
Carmo Church, built in the 18th century. It is a magnificent example of late Baroque Architecture with a single nave made up of elegant gilt carvings in seven altars by master Francisco Pereira Campanhã. Outside, an extraordinary side wall is completely covered in blue and white tile panels.
The house that separates the two churches was inhabited until about 20 years ago. It was built due to a law that stated that no two churches could share a wall, while also ensuring chastity between the monks of Carmo and the nuns of Carmelitas.
