Convento dos Cardaes

Place of worshipLocal favourite

A Carmelite convent of 1681 that came through the 1755 earthquake almost untouched and is still a living house, today home to young women with special needs cared for by Dominican sisters; behind a plain white wall are gilded altars and a nave lined with Dutch azulejos.
