Saint Teresa Church in Dublin is located on Clarendon Street, close to the busy Grafton Street. It is a church belonging to the Order of Discalced Carmelites. It was built at the end of the 18th century in the neo-Romanesque style. The temple has a granite facade with a huge rosette. Inside, you can see, among other things, a life-size sculpture of Christ in the Tomb.
The Carmelites came to Dublin around 1625. Initially, they did not have a permanent seat, and the British persecution of Catholics meant that they had to move from place to place. They came to Clarendon Street around 1790. The church funded by the local elite was built in 1797.
It is a structure on a cross plan, with three naves and a transept. The facade blends in with the buildings of Clarendon Street. It is made of granite blocks. It is decorated with stonework details. The interior is spacious and bright. The presbytery is decorated with stained glass with scenes from the Holy Bible. At the base of the altar there is a marble sculpture of Christ in the Tomb from 1829 by John Hogan. The church is famous for the magnificent choir that performs during the Sunday mass at 11:00.
