Nossa Senorha do Carmo

posted by bchristopher on 27 July 2011 at 09:47

I love the old town in Faro and the gold leaf of the church makes for a beautiful spot to stop. Don't go inside though if you don't like bones as there is a bone chapel here and when I say bones, I mean a lot of bones.

Igreja da Misericórdia

A delightful church situated very happily at the edge the old-person grazing ground of Jardim Manuel Bivar. The interior is lovely, so peaceful and calm.

Nossa Senhora da Carmo

What a splendid church, although not much from the outside. My mother and I simply loved it in here. The gold altar was a sight to behold and the intricate designs of every aspect were unexpected and lovely.

Igrego do Carmo

An amazing baroque church. You have to see this place, its staggeringly ornate and absolutely dripping in gold. Religious or not, you couldn't help finding it a powerful place.

Capella dos Ossos

posted by fclark on 5 August 2010 at 14:12

A really macabre sight, I'm not sure if I should really recommend it but I did find it very affecting... The floors, walls and ceilings of this chapel are lined with skulls. Apparently such places aren't uncommon in Spain but I'd never seen one before.
