Igreja dos Carmelitas
Located on the outskirts of Porto, the Igreja dos Carmelita is a great place to go for a quick day trip. The church is made up of two separate churches, each with its own unique architecture. Construction began in 1616 and was completed in 1628. The interior was decorated in the 1650s. In 2013, the Igreja dos Carmelitas was declared a National Monument. This cathedral is joined to another church, the Igreja do Carmo, built later in 1752. The two churches were originally part of a convent, but today they are occupied by the Guarda Nacional Republicana.
