The Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (; which was in fact referred to as the Convent of Our Lady of Help/Aid ()) is a medieval carmelite convent and church complex in the civil parish of Lagoa in the municipality of Lagoa in the Portuguese Algarve. The original convent was all but destroyed in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. After the extinction of the religious orders in Portugal in 1834, the property was taken over by a signeurial family which continued to provide church services. Read more on Wikipedia
