Igreja dos Carmelitas Descalços
Igreja dos Carmelitas Descalços, 17th-century Catholic church in Vitória, Portugal.
The granite facade includes three arched entrances with religious statues and a bell tower decorated with blue monochromatic tiles.
Construction of the church started in 1616 and finished in 1628, with interior decorations completed in 1650 under architect Nicolau Nasoni's guidance.
The church presents Mannerist and Baroque architectural elements, with six lateral chapels containing detailed gilded woodwork in Baroque and Rococo styles.
The church stands next to Igreja do Carmo, separated by Casa Escondida, a one-meter-wide building that currently functions as a museum.
The building originally served as a male convent for the Order of Discalced Carmelites and now houses the Portuguese Republican National Guard.
