The parish is an important religious landmark in the neighbourhood and recalls the origin of Copacabana’s name.

The relationship between Marian devotion and the neighbourhood’s name.

History

Devotion to Nossa Senhora de Copacabana is linked to an old chapel in the area before modern urbanisation.

My tip

It is interesting for the history of Copacabana’s name. Remember it remains an active parish, rather than a museum.

Opening hours, tickets, programming and visiting conditions may change. Check with the institution before traveling.
