Facts and practical information

The church of Santa María del Monte Carmelo is a small Baroque church in Salamanca, a remnant of the disappeared Convent of Discalced Carmelites of San José, founded by Saint Teresa of Jesus in 1570.

The church was built between 1612 and 1631. It is the work of Juan Moreno, with traces of Fray Jerónimo de la Madre de Dios. It is an austere work, as befits the Carmelite aesthetics. On its façade there is a niche with a statue of San José in stone, the work of Juan Rodríguez, a disciple of Gregorio Fernández.

Inside there is an altarpiece by Antonio González Ramiro and sculptures of the Virgen del Carmen and Santa Teresa by Esteban de Rueda.

The arch that gave entrance to the Convent of the Barefoot Carmelites has been moved to nearby gardens on the Paseo de Carmelitas.
