Igreja e Convento do Carmo, Colonial church complex in Vitoria, Brazil

Igreja e Convento do Carmo is a church and convent complex in Vitória, founded in 1682 by Carmelite friars on land donated by Francisco Gil de Araújo. The church's neo-Gothic facade dates from a 1913 renovation that replaced the original Baroque front; the interior preserves the 1910 added floor and the tomb of Bishop Fernando de Souza Monteiro, whose gravestone is visible inside.

The complex was established in 1682 by Carmelite priests and became an important religious center during colonial times. During the 19th century the building served military purposes for a period before eventually returning to its original religious function.

The name refers to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, patron of the Carmelite order that settled here around 1675. The Capela da Ordem Terceira, demolished in 1930, stood beside the convent; Dom Pedro II called it the most beautiful chapel he visited in Vitória. The church is part of the Visitar project, which since 2006 opens the historic centre's heritage buildings to visitors.

The church and convent stand in the historic centre of Vitória and are part of the Visitar project, run by the city with the Instituto Goia since 2006, which opens the doors of the historic centre's heritage buildings to visitors. A restoration begun in 2017 under the Mitra Arquidiocesana de Vitória focused on the ceiling and roof, and the church reopened to the public in 2018 with the coloured details of its upper section brought back.

The site was visited by Emperor Dom Pedro II, who recorded his observations about the building's condition in his personal diary. This historical visit shows the national importance the complex held during imperial times.
