El Carmel

The God’s garden

The name of the metro station and the district comes from the sanctuary of the Virgin Mary of Carmel mountain, which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Carmen and was built among 1860 and 1864. The name of a street ̶ calle Santuario (sanctuary) ̶ also comes from this religious building. Carmel derives from the Jewish word Karm-El, that means garden or vine of God, and it is linked to the worship of the Virgin Mary of Carmel or of the Carmel Israeli mountain.
