The Tertiary Order of Our Lady of Carmel of Tavira (Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Carmo de Tavira) was founded early in the 18th century. The building of the new convent in 1737 was made possible by financial backing from the Tertiary Order Friars and eminent locals. The church contains baroque and rococo pieces of great artistic value, including the carved altarpieces of the main and lateral chapels, canvases, throne and church organ. The Bishop of the Algarve, Ignácio de Santa Teresa was buried here in 1751.
