Igreja da Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo

Igreja da Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo is a jewel of Baroque architecture in Faro. This historic church impresses with its symmetrical facade with three tracts and Corinthian columns topped with decorative elements.

The interior captivates with a wealth of decoration - intricate azulejos (tiles) and gilded wooden elements made by local artists.

The most intriguing feature is the Capela dos Ossos, a macabre chapel containing more than 1,250 skeletons arranged in geometric patterns on the walls and ceiling. This unusual combination of architectural beauty and peculiar art makes this place a fascinating spot on Portugal's cultural map.
