The site now houses a fascinating museum, offering a unique blend of architectural wonder and historical insight. As you wander through the skeletal arches and admire the remaining architectural details, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for Lisbon's past and the enduring spirit of its people. The Carmo Convent is a must-visit attraction for History Buffs, Architecture Enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a truly memorable experience in the heart of Lisbon.
