Convento das Bernardas, Religious structure in Estrela, Portugal.
The Convento das Bernardas do Mocambo features an 18th-century facade with multiple levels that adapt to the neighborhood's sloping terrain.
Founded in 1654 by Cistercian nuns, the convent underwent complete reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake that devastated most of Lisbon.
The building transformed from a religious sanctuary into a multifunctional space, now hosting the Puppet Museum since 2001.
Located on Travessa do Convento das Bernardas, the site connects to multiple public transport options and remains accessible throughout the year.
The structure maintained its religious function until 1909, when the death of the last nun, Carolina Augusta de Castro e Silva, marked its conversion.
