Carmo Church, Religious structure in Angra dos Reis, Brazil

The Carmo Convent in Angra dos Reis comprises the convent building, the Conventual Church, and the Third Order Chapel, separated by a bell tower. The two churches have similar facades with volutes and pinnacles, the Third Order's being a simplified version. The bell tower is partly covered in azulejos and topped by a dome. The convent has a two-storey cloister with stone arches on the lower level.

The Carmelites arrived in Angra dos Reis around 1593 and built a convent between 1613 and 1617, enlarged from 1621. In September 1710 the bell tower was destroyed during the bombardment of the town by the French corsair Jean-François Duclerc. The present convent was begun in 1722 and partly inaugurated in 1726, and the conventual church dates from the second half of the 18th century. IPHAN listed the convent in 1944 and the Third Order church in 1950.

The church continues to serve the local community for regular worship and draws visitors seeking to experience its spiritual setting. Its name references the Virgin Mary and Mount Carmel, reflecting its importance within Christian tradition.

The building is located in central Angra dos Reis and is easily accessible on foot, with regular hours open to visitors. Appropriate attire is expected when visiting this religious site.

The convent was listed by IPHAN in 1944, and the Third Order church followed in 1950. The bell tower between the two churches is partly covered in azulejo tiles and topped by a dome with pinnacles. In September 1710 a French corsair, Jean-François Duclerc, bombarded the town and destroyed the earlier tower.
