Igreja do Carmo

Built in the second half of the 17th century by Pedro Gonçalves Brandão, next to Rua Fernão de Ornelas, one of the capital's busiest streets. A single nave, chancel and bell tower; an 18th-century Rococo façade in grey regional stone. In the chancel, a gilded Mannerist altarpiece with a throne and a painting of the patron saint by the Madeiran carver Manuel Pereira; 18th-century tiles depicting Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Open every day with regular Masses — a chance to attend a Madeiran Mass.
