The cemetery in the ruins of the Igreja do Convento do Carmo, in Lisbon, is exceptional for the large number of individuals (n=150) recovered from it. This cemetery had been used for approximately three centuries, from the 16 t h century until the terrible 1755 earthquake which completely ruined the church and a great part of Lisbon. Among the various pathological cases identified during the fieldwork are two cases of venereal syphilis. The two adult skeletons, a female and a male, present lesions that indicate venereal syphilis in almost all parts of their skeletons. The cases are discussed within the context of their chronology and provenience
