Convento do Carmo de Lisboa

Carmo Convent in Lisbon.

 

This beautiful, gothic church was built in 1389. In 1755, the Carno Church was destroyed by a huge earthquake. Then it was left exactly as it remained after the destruction, as a symbol of loss and hope. Nowadays it's an open air archeological museum.
