Convento do Carmo
The Carmo convent was the first of the Carmelite Order to be founded in Portugal, in 1251, by the knights of the Order of Malta. However, nothing remains of the original work, having been built again in the 16th century. It is one of the most significant monuments in Baixo Alentejo. It presents a harmonious set of Gothic and Renaissance elements, with special mention to the Renaissance portico, the vaulted chapels, the 18th century tiles and the cloister.
