Espaço aberto em 1681, como Convento de Carmelitas Descalças, resultante de investimento de Luísa de Távora.

I had a truly captivating visit to the Convento dos Cardaes in Lisbon and it quickly became one of the most surprising gems I have encountered in the city. Built between 1677 and 1703, this former Carmelite convent survived the great earthquake of 1755 almost intact, preserving its original baroque and rococo interior that contrasts beautifully with its austere exterior. Inside, the walls are lined with stunning Portuguese and Dutch tiles depicting scenes from the life of Saint Teresa of Avila, making it a rare and solemn treasure. The gilded wood altars, seventeenth-century paintings, and richly decorated refectory create an atmosphere of deep historical and spiritual resonance. Visiting felt like stepping back in time, especially knowing that since the nineteenth century it has served as a sanctuary for blind women and adults with special needs, and that today it continues this mission thanks to the Dominican sisters who reside there. The museum layout guides you through its church, cloisters, oratory, chapter room and refectory, providing context and beauty at every turn. The entrance fee of seven euros is very fair given the historical significance, the vibrant decorative art, and the living community you support. The atmosphere is peaceful, reflective, and full of meaning, making it a deeply rewarding experience for anyone interested in art, architecture or social heritage. I appreciated the quiet dignity of the place, the harmonious blend of artistic richness and social mission, and the rarity of visiting such a fully preserved seventeenth-century convent in Lisbon. Convento dos Cardaes is a must-visit for those seeking a unique, heartfelt, and memorable encounter with the city’s hidden history.
