Unfortunately, due to its location on a hill and the presence of stairs, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and the Franciscan Monastery may be difficult for people with reduced mobility or wheelchair users. The access route is steep, and the interior of the complex has architectural barriers. We recommend checking current conditions in advance if accessibility is a major concern.
