Porto. Igreja do Carmo

Carmo Church, built later in the 18th century. It is a magnificent example of late baroque architecture with a single nave made up of elegant gilt carvings in seven altars by master Francisco Pereira Campanhã. Outside, an extraordinary side wall is completely covered in blue and white tile panels. The house that separates the two churches was inhabited until about 20 years ago. It was built due to a law that stated that no two churches could share a wall, while also ensuring chastity between the monks of Carmo and the nuns of Carmelitas.

a fancy façade well worth an appraisal...odd law that, perhaps to the disappointment of the monks and nuns..

The portrait framing worked well here and the people provide a sense of scale.
