Church do Carmo ( Igreja do Carmo ) is a Catholic church in the parish of Vitória, city of Porto, Portugal.

This church was built on land adjacent to the Church of the Carmelites, on the west side, ceded to the Order in 1752. The fact that two churches were built side by side would, in itself, attract attention. But the curious aspect of these attractions doesn’t stop there. From the outside, the Igreja do Carmo impresses with its baroque-rococo style details, in addition to the side covered in blue tiles. The Church of the Discalced Carmelites, in turn, has a slightly simpler facade, with a bell tower on the left, also covered in tiles.
Igreja do Carmo is one of the most notable and one of the must-see churches – Rococo buildings in Porto, both in architecture and in the carving that shapes its interior.
