    Really recommend doing the tour here; it is more than just the church and hidden house, although those alone are enough reasons to visit. There is an interesting crypt with relics and open casket of coffin. Inside the church there are different rooms like the great meeting hall with a secret passage, many relics and you can also go inside the sacristy. You can also go on the rooftop. The hidden house was very neat; it’s the most narrow house I’ve been to. The cost of entry is 4,5€ but with Porto card you can go for 2.1€ Although the church is open at 9:00am, the ticketing office wasn’t open then. The mass starts at 9:30am so I came back around 10:00am and by that time, mass was over and the ticket office was opening up. There are plenty of cafes to go to if you need for mass to finish :) The nearby Cafe d’ouro is historical place of resistance to dictatorship. When people started looking for lice in people’s hair, that was the signal that the police is coming and to stop political discussions. Be sure to visit the church next door. (The two churches actually connect in the back.)

    The overall architecture in the Baroque/Rococo style is not bad. You can see the tiles on the exterior from the outside. However, the interior is just an ordinary church, with nothing particularly interesting inside. They boast about a priest's house between the two churches with a constructed story, but it's nothing more than a simple house. There's nothing noteworthy in the churches either; everything is very ordinary. Additionally, they sell tickets by claiming there are underground tombs, but it's entirely deceptive; there's only a coffin and a skeleton in a plain underground cellar. There isn't a wide cityscape view from the roof either; you can only see the square and the surroundings. If you don't mind the 5€, you can enter to have a look around, but I must say, you shouldn't expect much. Just go in and wander around…

    Beautiful church, interesting the visit in the little hidden house. A very pleasant experience if you want to feel the history. We had a climb on the terrace where we could see from the top the beautiful plaza down. The visit is short, but interesting, mostly the layout of the interior.

    Located in downtown Porto, the Carmo and Carmelitas churches look like the biggest church in the city. In fact, they are two churches separated by one of the world’s narrowest houses. If you look closely, you’ll find Carmo Church (on the right) and Carmelitas Church (on the left). Both curches are open monday to friday from 7:15am to 7pm; saturdays, sundays and holidays from 9am to 6:45pm. The admission is free for the church and there is a fee to enter the museum, catacombs and Casa Escondida.

    Text from a sign posted in the church which I think we as visitors need to be reminded of: SOME BASIC RULES TO VISIT A CHURCH: • Avoid [visiting during] prayer times • Keep silent • Turn off electronic devices [silent mode] • Do not interrupt nor disturb religious celebrations • Do not walk near people in prayer • If you're not a catholic, please do not take communion • Respect the rules regarding photographs and recordings • Do not touch liturgical objects (images and vestments) • Do not eat, drink nor smoke inside a church • Please take care regarding the way you present yourself, respecting the conviction that a church is a holy place. Dress modestly and take off your hat inside the church. €5 entrance fee, possible to access the roof, catacombs (note: actual human remains visible here), the ‘hidden house’ and many interesting rooms to see with artefacts related to these buildings’ history.

    Igreja dos Carmelitas or Igreja dos Carmelitas Descalços is located in the parish of Vitória. Construction began in 1616 and was completed in 1628. The decoration of the interior was ready by 1650. It is an absolutely stunning parish and if you’re ever in Porto definitely visit it, you’ll be amazed at both the interior and exterior of the place.

    (Translated by Google) Extraordinary. Gilding everywhere. We were even told that these gilding was in gold and that there were 300 kg. I do not think it's true, but it's a remarkable job, the artists who made the statues and all the decorations were really good. That's wonderful. In addition the visit is free, it would be a shame to deprive it. I really recommend going there. (Original) Extraordinaire. Des dorures partout. On nous a même dit que ces dorures était en or et qu'il y en avait 300 kg. Je ne crois pas que ce soit vrai mais il n’empêche que c'est un travail remarquable, les artistes qui ont réalisé les statues et toute la décoration étaient vraiment bons. C'est magnifique. En outre la visite est gratuite, il serait dommage de s'en priver. Je conseille vraiment d'y aller.

    Rather underwhelming. Pretty steep price to just see some small rooms. You can go to other like churches and pay less and see more interesting things, in my opinion. I understand this church is well known for the azulejo mural it has, so I just recommend seeing that and moving on.

    Igreja do Carmo is an absolute jewel in Porto. The exterior, adorned with stunning azulejos, captures the essence of Portuguese artistry. Inside, the rich history and intricate details offer a mesmerizing experience. It’s a peaceful haven amidst the city’s bustle, perfect for reflection. A must-visit for its cultural and historical significance.

    Beautiful the details of the front of the church. Loved the inside too deffo worth a visit. Loved the fun fact of the 2 churches being connected by the tiny house built in the gap between later on, where the priest used to live. It’s 5€ entrance only cash. Not much but if you consider every paying entrance in Porto and Lisbon you’ll be spending a fortune. Otherwise 5 star

    (Translated by Google) The Church of the Carmelites or Church of the Discalced Carmelites, located in the Parish of Vitória in the City of Porto, began to be built in 1616 and was completed in 1628. The interior decoration would only be ready in 1650. The Church belonged to the extinct Convent, today occupied by the Republican National Guard. It was classified as a National Monument on March 3, 2013, in conjunction with the adjacent Carmo Church.

    (Translated by Google) We searched the Igreja dos Carmelitas and found instead 2 churches! The right with the blue tiled side is the 18th century Igreja do Carmo. In Rococo style, which you can not visit freely, in the middle is an extremely narrow house with a front of about 1.5 m wide, the Casa Escondida, between both, and the left church is the dos Carmelitas, free admission. The Igreja dos Carmelitas was built at the beginning of the 17th century, a combination of Classicism and Baroque in the interior. Altars and pulpits are rich in Baroque style decorated with gold carvings. I recommend to visit the church, as it is close to the Igreja dos Clerigos and the world famous Lello Bookstore. (Original) Wir suchten die Igreja dos Carmelitas und fanden stattdessen gleich 2 Kirchen! Die rechte mit der blau gefliesten Seite ist die Igreja do Carmo aus dem 18. Jhdt. im Rokoko-Stil, die man nicht frei besichtigen kann, in der Mitte liegt ein extrem schmales Haus mit einer Front von etwa 1,5 m Breite, die Casa Escondida, zwischen beiden, und die linke Kirche ist die dos Carmelitas, Eintritt frei. Die Igreja dos Carmelitas wurde Anfang des 17. Jhdt.‘s erbaut, eine Kombination aus Klassizismus mit Barock im Innern. Altäre und Kanzeln sind reich im Barockstil mit Gold-Schnitzereien verziert. Ich empfehle, die Kirche zu besuchen, zumal sie nahe der Igreja dos Clerigos und der weltberühmten Buchhandlung Lello liegt.

    Absolutely stunning ❤️. Beautiful baroque church with golden altar. Beautiful gold decorations are found throughout the church. Built with great splendor and elegance. There is a museum at the back of the church that is definitely worth seeing. There are extremely beautiful frescoes on the ceiling. Free entrance.

    Beautiful church with the ability to walk around which last an hour. The cost is 10€ and is well worth it. The catacombs and walking up the roof were a great feature of this tour. There is also old books/clothing with history behind it.

    Very beautiful church which really worth a visit to get inside and explore “the hidden house “ and the catacomb. The hidden house is quite amazing. We wouldn’t know from the outside that it’s a house there even if the house has its own entrance.

    (Translated by Google) Better known as Igreja do Carmo or Church of the Venerable Third Order of Nossa Senhora do Carmo, it is considered one of the most important works of religious architecture in the city. Attached to the Convent and the Carmelitas Hospital, it is located in front of the Torre de los Clérigos. It was built in the second half of the 18th century, following the Baroque and Rococo styles, by the architect José Figueiredo Seixas on land donated by the Discalced Carmelite friars. The church has two facades, since they are two united churches. The first would be that of the old Carmelite convent, from the 17th century and in the Baroque style. The second is the current Iglesia del Carmen, which mixes the Baroque and Rococo, something very common in many buildings in Porto. On the outside of the church I would highlight the blue and white Portuguese tiles that occupy the side façade. In them the foundation of the Third Order of the Sisters is represented (Silvestre Silvestri in 1912). (Original) Más conocida como Igreja do Carmo o Iglesia de la Venerable Orden Tercera de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, está considerada como una de las obras de arquitectura religiosa más importante de la ciudad. Adosada al Convento y al Hospital de los Carmelitas, está situada en frente de la Torre de los Clérigos. Fue construida en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, siguiendo los estilos barroco y rococó, por el arquitecto José Figueiredo Seixas en un terreno cedido por los frailes Carmelitas Descalzos. La iglesia posee dos fachadas, ya que se trata de dos iglesias unidas. La primera sería la del antiguo convento de los Carmelitas, del siglo XVII y estilo barroco. La segunda es la actual iglesia del Carmen, que entremezcla el barroco y el rococó, algo muy común en muchos edificios de Oporto. En el exterior de la iglesia destacaría los azulejos portugueses, azules y blancos, que ocupan la fachada lateral. En ellos se representa con imágenes la fundación de la orden Tercera de las hermanas (Silvestre Silvestri en el año 1912).

It was classified as a National Monument on May 3, 2013, together with the adjacent Igreja do Carmo. The church belonged to the extinct convent, now occupied by the National Republican Guard. The facade of granite stonework has three entrances with round arches, topped by an equal number of niches, with images of São José, Santa Teresa de Jesus and Nossa Senhora do Carmo in the center. The upper body contains three large windows, the central one being rectangular in shape and the two lateral ones in the shape of a rectangular trapezoid. The facade ended with a triangular pediment topped by balusters. It has a bell tower on the left side, covered with monochromatic blue tiles, topped by a bulb-shaped dome. The interior of the Igreja dos Carmelitas is of Latin cross plan, with a single nave, with six side chapels and a narthex at the entrance. The baroque and rococo gilded gilt stands out on the side chapels and on the main altar. The design of the main altarpiece is by Joaquim Teixeira de Guimarães and the execution by José Teixeira Guimarães.

    Absolutely worth the 5 euro entrance fee. The carmelite church has adjusted itself to tourism and allows you to truly understand the sculptures and significant collections with placards in English and Portuguese. You can also visit the hidden house which is sandwiched between the carmelite and Protestant churches to ensure they don’t touch.

    The architecture and design are amazing. The church adjoins another, and there is a 'hidden house' between two. You can climb right up to the roof, which offers great views onto the square below and old town. Cash only accepted on admission.

    Porto’s narrowest house, separating two churches, is a curiosity from outside, but the visit (combined with the Igreja do Carmo, where the ticket booth is located) is unexpectedly extensive and fascinating. The rooms of the house are rather wider than might be imagined from the street, but the visit also takes in the church, its catacombs (in reality an underground treasury with a few bones on display), some of the rooms of the order, and a trip to the roof. It is all a labyrinth that is great fun to explore, and merits longer than might initially be imagined. There are a lot of staircases of various types, including spiral and some steep steps just before the roof, so it would be difficult for those with limited mobility. The whole complex would benefit from a one-way system, as it does get rather crowded on narrow stairways at times. However, it is definitely worth a visit.

    I’m coming for the Azulejos tiles and not regret it. They are so stunning and laid beautifully. I paid a bit of fee to visit in side and check out the hidden room. I didn’t understand much the concept of it and got chance to ask the questions to officer. She was kindly explain and answer my questions. She even reminds me to explore more room and also the view at the top.

    We stumbled upon this church. A lot of other places had lines and more expensive entry costs - here, we were able to walk right in - 5€/person. (Travelled in February) It showcases an elaborate church, a tomb, private quarters, a silver collection (I believe one of the biggest in Portugal), beautiful oil paintings, medical items from the relationship between the hospital and the church & allows you to go on the roof. I am not religious but the ornate architecture and history are beautiful - I highly recommend a visit!

    The outside of the church is pretty but they covered gauze on the tiles to protect the tile which made the building looks white. I dislike it, there should be a better way to protect it and also show the gorgeous original color of the tiles.

    The Igreja do Carmo had amazing baroque gold inlay on the inside and the azulejos on the exterior of the church were stunningly beautiful as well. I would recommend stopping by the church just to glance at the interior and exterior because they are both very lovely, however, we would have benefitted from a pamphlet or app or something that offered us a succinct guided tour through the church. There was a QR code one could scan upon entry but it was difficult to use the information provided to explore the church as it was a lot of information and the user interface wasn't great.

  • 5/5 Dejan B. 1 year ago on Google
    When standing in front you'd think you're looking at a single Church. However, there're two of them - one by another, a very unusual site. Igreja dos Carmelitas is the left one, little bit smaller, but more lavishly decorated in Baroque and Rococo. Entrance is free, and for a small fee you can tour both Churches as well the "Hidden house" between them.

  • 5/5 Soufiane M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice church in which a full tour is proposed for a very moderate price. It's worth it. You got to see a small catacomb, the full house of the clergy, and even the rooftop of the church. It is not incredible to see but still one of the most important church of Porto and a beautiful one so go for it

  • 5/5 Ellie 1 year ago on Google
    The Igreja do Carmo is a historic church located in the heart of Porto. The church is a beautiful example of the Baroque style of architecture and was built in the 18th century. One of the most distinctive features of the church is its façade, which is decorated with intricate stonework and sculptures. The façade is flanked by two towers, which rise above the main entrance and are capped with Baroque-style domes. The interior of the church is just as stunning, with a nave that is lined with ornate carvings, gold leaf decorations, and beautiful paintings.

    We LOVED IT! I've been to many churches all over the world and this is definitely one of my top 5! I love the tile decorations outside and that you not only get to see the main hall, but also the catacombs, the different room exhibitions AND you can climb to the roof and get some photos there! It is great value for money and absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Also the person selling the tickets was extremely nice and warm person <3 :)

    This church and it's sister next door have a distinct style of decoration. I suppose it's portugese baroque? Lots to look at. It can overwhelm the eyes. It's an actual church with candles & people making the sign of the cross

    Small pretty church that is worth the 3.50 euro entrance fee. You are given access to the priests living quarters and the hall where Porto nobles and church leaders met back in the day. A secret passage in the grand hall is also very cool. There is a small catacomb as well. It’s not crowded and well worth the visit. Big thanks to Isabel for watching our baby stroller and giving us the story of the secret passage. The employees here are so helpful.

    Built in the early 17th century, as a mixture of Classic building and Baroque carved altar and pulpits. The ornate carvings on the inner domes are enhanced by the simple white painting. It’s amazing that this church is side by side with the “do Carmo” church

    (Translated by Google) Igreja do Carmo and Igreja dos Carmelitas When you come to Gomes Teixeira Square (Praça de Gomes Teixeira), which is also the rector of the University of Porto, you will be attracted by the views of two churches standing next to each other. To the right is the Igreja do Carmo, with the outer surface covered with blue and white azulejos, and the Igreja dos Carmelitas on the left. The name in our language corresponds to the Church of the Priests and the Church of the Sisters. What is striking about these twin churches is that although they are actually two different religious buildings, they seem to constitute a single architectural structure. Igreja dos Carmelitas was built in the 17th century as a nunnery and Igreja do Carmo was built as a church in the middle of the 18th century. Between the two churches is one of the narrowest houses in the world with a width of just over 1 meter. It is rumored that the reason for placing a house between the two religious buildings is to provide the secular separation of the monks and nuns as well as explaining that the two buildings are separate from each other. Built between 1616 and 1628, Igreja dos Carmelitas has an almost flat granite façade and a bell tower on the left. The interior is decorated in a green tone. The building on the left side of the church, which was used as a barracks during the French invasion (1808-1814), is the former nuns' monastery, which is now used as the headquarters of the Portuguese National Guard. Igreja do Carmo, built between 1756 and 1768, is considered as one of the best examples of baroque rococo style in Portugal with its architecture and golden decoration inside. The side façade is covered with an attractive blue and white azulejo panel designed by Silvestre Silvestri and painted by Carlos Branco. Churches, Clérigos Tower and other major attractions, such as the Lello Bookstore, are nearby and there are plenty of places to relax with a coffee. (Original) Igreja do Carmo ve Igreja dos Carmelitas Porto Üniversitesi rektörlüğünün de bulunduğu Gomes Teixeira Meydanına (Praça de Gomes Teixeira) geldiğinzde, yanyana duran iki kilise görünümleri ile sizi cezbedecektir. Sağ tarafta bulunan ve dış yüzeyi mavi beyaz azulejolar ile kaplı olan Igreja do Carmo, sol taraftaki ise Igreja dos Carmelitas’dır. İsimlerinin dilimizdeki karşılığı Rahipler Kilisesi ve Rahibeler Kilisesi anlamına da gelmektedir. İkize benzer bu kiliseler hakkında dikkat çekici olan husus, gerçekte iki farklı dini yapı olmalarına karşın rağmen, görünüşte tek bir mimari yapı oluşturuyor olmalarıdır. Igreja dos Carmelitas 17. Yüzyılda rahibeler manastırı, Igreja do Carmo ise 18. Yüzyılın ortalarında kilise olarak inşa edilmişler. Her iki kilisenin arasında ise dünyadaki en dar evlerden biri olan ve genişliği 1 metrenin biraz üzerinde olan bir ev yer alıyor. İki dini yapı arasında bir ev yerleştirmenin nedeni olarak, iki yapının birbirinden ayrı olduğunu anlatmanın yanı sıra rahiplerin ve rahibelerin dünyevi ayrılıklarının sağlanması olduğu rivayet ediliyor. 1616-1628 yılları arasında inşa edilen Igreja dos Carmelitas neredeyse düz sayılabilecek granit bir dış cepheye sahip olup, sol tarafında çan kulesi yer almaktedır. İçerisi yeşile yakın bir tonda dekore edilmiştir. Fransız istilası sırasında (1808-1814) kilise kışla olarak kullanılmış olan kilisenin sol tarafında yer alan bina ise artık Portekiz Ulusal Muhafızlarının karargahı olarak kullanılan eski rahibeler manastırıdır. 1756-1768 yılları arasında inşa edilen Igreja do Carmo, mimarisi ve içerisindeki altın rengi dekorasyonla Portekiz’da barok rokoko tarzın en güzel örneklerinden biri olarak kabul ediliyor. Yan dış cephesi Silvestre Silvestri tarafından tasarlanan ve Carlos Branco tarafından boyanmış olan göz alıcı mavi beyaz azulejo panelle kaplıdır. Kiliseler, Clérigos Kulesi ve Lello Kitabevi gibi diğer önemli turistik mekanların yakınında yer almakta olup, civarda bir kahve ile yorgunluk atabileceğiniz çok sayıda yer var.
