What to expect
The Carmo church is easy to recognise by its broad frontage and two bell towers. Its scale is a striking contrast to the smaller lanes around it, and the building is one of the principal religious landmarks outside Faro’s walled old town.
The Chapel of Bones is part of this same site, so there is no need to plan it as a separate journey. Its human remains make it a more reflective and potentially unsettling visit than a conventional church interior; decide whether that element suits everyone in your group.
