Igreja do Carmo
This church is one of Porto’s most breathtaking architectural wonders, and it owes most of its beauty to the vibrant blue and white tiles it was decorated with.
Have you even been to Porto if you didn't take a photo here? • 
The Igreja do Carmo and Igreja dos Carmelitas, at the corner of Praça de Carlos Alberto and Rua do Carmo, are two churches in Porto that stand almost side by side. • 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐒: The two churches are separated by a very narrow (1m wide) house that was inhabited until the 1980's. The house was built so that the two churches would not share a common wall and to prevent any relations between the nuns of Igreja dos Carmelitas and the monks of Igreja do Carmo. •
