Nuestra Señora del Carmen, Catholic church in Aguada district, Montevideo, Uruguay

Nuestra Señora del Carmen is a neoclassical church building in Montevideo situated at the intersection of Avenida Lavalleja and Calle Venezuela. The facade features four prominent statues that define the building's architectural character.

The first chapel to Our Lady of Mount Carmel was built in 1793 on Cerro Largo street, under priest Manuel Antonio Collantes; it was damaged in the English invasion of 1807 and demolished in 1811 for standing in the firing line of the Plaza. By 1827 a small chapel stood on the present plot, donated by Emetrio Menéndez, and in 1829 the Constituent and Legislative General Assembly met there and approved the law creating the national shield. During the Guerra Grande it served as barracks and cemetery until services resumed on 30 August 1852; the parish was erected in September 1866 and Pope Leo XIII granted the title of Minor Basilica on 8 June 1899.

The church is also known as Iglesia de la Aguada, after the neighbourhood, and its devotion is to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a widely followed Marian advocation in Uruguay. Part of Fabio Descalzi's young adult novel Amigos orientales is set inside this church.

The church stands at the corner of Avenida Lavalleja and Calle Venezuela in La Aguada, on the block reshaped when the Diagonal Agraciada was cut through. The main doors now open directly onto the street, since the old porch was removed in the 1935 rebuild, and the bell tower sits on the south side. Visitors enter from the avenue side.

The high altar's marbles, lapis lazuli, onyx and bronze came from workshops in Lavagna, not Genoa, on the Ligurian coast. The church also appears in Fabio Descalzi's young adult novel Amigos orientales, which sets part of its story inside the building.
