Santa Teresa de Jesus de Carnide convent, 17th century Carmelite convent in Carnide, Portugal.
The convent features a Latin cross layout with barrel-vaulted nave and intersecting vaults at the transept crossing, surrounded by a quadrangular cloister.
Micaela Margarida de Sant'Ana, daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Matthias, established the convent in 1642 on land given by the kingdom's High-Courier.
Blue and white tiles from the 17th and 18th centuries cover the walls, complemented by large paintings by Portuguese masters including Bento Coelho da Silveira.
The religious structure stands at 45 Rua do Norte a Carnide in Lisbon, now serving as a retirement home after the death of its last nun in 1881.
The convent contains a graded iron window through which nuns attended mass and a small golden door for receiving communion.
