Last pictures of the Convento do Carmo

This hotel is something out of an Umberto Eco novel. All dark crimson red fabrics, marble statues, white walls and exposed old stone facades eternally fused together… Certain Church buildings are designed to live forever, and this Convent is no joke… you can just imagine the monks walking it with lit candles, the priests sweeping through in their robes and vestments... I feel blessed to have been through its rooms… took some terrible pictures, though...




...the stocks...
