Carmo Convent
Lisbon, Portugal
Carmo Convent, built atop a hill by Nuno Álvares Pereira in 1389, was a striking Gothic church until the 1755 Lisbon earthquake left its roofless arches silhouetted against the sky. Visitors encounter haunting ruins with partial walls and arches, alongside a small archaeological museum. Perfect for those interested in Lisbon's seismic history.
