💖 Lisbon | Can You Resist the Charm of the Roofless Church? 💖

🌟 In Lisbon, most tourists flock to the Jerónimos Monastery, but little do they know that right next to the famous Santa Justa Elevator lies a transcendent and ethereal roofless church. ⛪️ 📌 Carmel Monastery Archaeological Museum (Museu Arqueológico do Carmo) 💖 Established in 1389, this lost monastery was left in ruins after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, with its dome entirely destroyed. All that remains are the supporting pillars, creating a haunting beauty with the sky and the ruins, a beauty that commands reverence! ✨ After seeing the opulent decorations of churches, the sight of this monastery with the sky as its ceiling and clouds drifting by brings a fresh and unique sense of awe. It is one of the most special churches in Portugal. 🔖 The exterior is the ruins of the monastery, a treasure trove for photography and architecture enthusiasts. Inside is the Carmo Archaeological Museum, which may be small but boasts a beautiful Gothic ceiling. The collection is worth a visit, including Gothic stone sarcophagi, Azulejos tiles, Roman sculptures, and even two mummies. 📝 If you have the chance to visit Lisbon, Portugal, consider spending half a day experiencing the poignant beauty of the lost monastery. 📆 Opening Hours: October to May 10:00-18:00, June to September 10:00-19:00, closed on Sundays, January 1st, May 1st, and December 25th. 💶 Admission: €7 (available for purchase on-site). 🕰️ Visiting Time: 1 hour. 🚇 Transportation: Blue metro line to Baixa-Chiado. ⭕️ Visiting Tips: Don't forget to encounter the museum's treasure, the resident cat. After visiting the church, turn left when you exit to see the same view as from the Santa Justa Elevator. #MustVisitMuseum #CulturalAttractions #Monastery #Lisbon #Portugal #LisbonDayTrip #FreeTravel
