Lonely Planet review

In the Chiado the graceful ruins of the Convento do Carmo, uphill from Rua Garrett along Calçada do Sacramento, are Lisbon's only remaining example of Gothic architecture, mostly devoured by the 1755 earthquake. Just the tall slender pillars, arches, walls and flying buttresses remain of one of Lisbon's largest churches, built in 1423; it's now regularly used as an open-air theatre.
