Largo do Carmo

Largo do Carmo, located in Lisbon, Portugal, stands as a poignant reminder of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, with the remains of the 14th-century Carmo Convent still visible. The convent’s Gothic-style structure now houses the Archeological Museum, where visitors can explore historical artifacts. In the center of the square, a monumental drinking fountain from the late 1700s adds to the historical ambiance. Today, visitors can wander through the open-air ruins and step inside the museum to delve into the city’s rich past.
