Convento do Carmo
The Carmo Convent was built in 1389 by the Portuguese King João I as part of his legacy to create a complex religious site that would eventually become a powerful symbol for Portugal. Carmo Convento is actually a ruin of a 14th-century convent that was destroyed by an infamous earthquake and fire. On Nov. 1, 1755, one of the deadliest earthquakes of all time shook Lisbon. Buildings throughout the city collapsed, including this one.
