I have to say that the Carmo site was the best of all attractions I took in when I visited Lisbon. The ruins as you enter are pretty amazing. In the museum itself are some interesting artifacts. It was the one site that you heard people gasp in awe among all the sites in Lisbon. It is fairly cheap and near mass transit. If there is one thing to put on your must do list in Portugal it has to be this place.

This is a pretty unique place to visit, and you should include it in your trip to Lisbon. A skeleton of a church destroyed in the big earthquake, it’s a really interesting place to see. In addition to just seeing the actual church, they have room with some cool artifacts too. Keep your eyes out for the resident cats!

The museum is located inside the convent that was destroyed by an earthquake. Seemingly it was the first museum of art and archeology in the country. Definitely visit when in Lisbon not expensive to enter. There is a vast collection of ancient artifacts also and a room that plays a video of the history of the convent.There is a cat also that sits there all day.

This was our second visit here I wanted to bring my daughter who is into history and this place has that and more. It was a great visit and I particularly liked the modern art too. Worth a visit, note you can get here by the Santa Justa lift or you can walk !

This is another one of Lisbon's gems. The ruins of the old convent make the perfect setting for an antiquities museum. A history of Lisbon starting from pre-Roman times is beautifully displayed. The ruins of the convent are fascinating in themselves and the story of how the museum came to be is equally fascinating. If you find yourself in Lisbon with a few hours to spare and history is your thing, then I recommend a visit.

Really beautiful remains with a fantastic archaeological museum and the museum cat, who strolls around the site. The ruins are really beautiful to see and the museum contains different artefacts that have been discovered from various eras. Would highly recommend a visit here for anyone visiting Lisbon.

This is worth visiting. It has a feeling of Coventry cathedral but here the damage was a natural disaster in the form of an earthquake. It must have been a truly amazing building with superb vaulted ceilings. The arches that remain are a true spectacle as you look up to a clear blue sky. There are numerous tombs to read about as you navigate the structure. It really is a fascinating space and worth a visit, and the black and white cat seemed to agree! We just bought tickets at the door and went straight in.

One the beautiful ancient place in Lisbon that should visit. The ticket price is worth and line was not that much long. My son is 5 years old and he enjoyed the short movie played with pretty lights.
