Museu Arqueológico do Carmo
Archaeology and sculpture among the ruins of the former Igreja do Carmo, at Largo do Carmo in the Chiado area.
Founded in 1864, it occupies the ruins of the former Igreja do Carmo at Largo do Carmo. The collection includes Roman inscriptions, pre-Columbian ceramics and Egyptian objects. Part of the route passes through open-air ruins.
Our Baixa & Chiado guide covers what else is around. About 2 minutes' walk away is Elevador de Santa Justa. It is part of the Lisbon in 2 days itinerary. If it rains, Museu de São Roque is the nearest indoor alternative. If you do Cacilhas and Cristo Rei, across the Tagus, you can add this on your way back into Lisbon. By metro, get off at Baixa / Chiado (about 200 m on foot).
