The Carmo Convent is a historic religious complex in Lisbon, Portugal, founded in the 14th century. It was once one of the most important Gothic buildings in the city, reflecting the religious and architectural influence of the period. The convent was severely damaged during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, leaving much of it in ruins. However, it was not the only structure affected by such disasters, as many buildings of that time were shaped by both natural events and the passage of history.
