Church of El Carmen, Cartagena, Baroque church building on Calle del Carmen, Cartagena, Spain
The Church of El Carmen displays a two-tiered facade with a bell tower interrupting the pediment and classical architectural elements throughout its structure.
The construction of the church began in the late 17th century and concluded in 1710, serving initially as part of the San Joaquín Convent for Discalced Carmelites.
The main altar features the Virgin of Mount Carmel statue created by José María Rausell Montañana and Francisco Llorens Ferrer, along with sculptures from 1940s artists.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its single nave, side chapels, and dome-covered crossing during designated visiting hours.
The church interior contains a choir section supported by vaulted arches at the foot of the nave, following a design pattern common to Carmelite constructions in Madrid.
