This small white church is a gem of colonial architecture with beautiful views of Glória, Flamengo and Guanabara Bay.
Its octagonal plan, Portuguese tiles and views from Outeiro.
History
It was built in the 18th century and had a special relationship with Brazil’s imperial family. Members of Dom Pedro II’s family were baptised here.
My tip
Go up during the day and pay attention to the interior tiles. The venue is small and may close for weddings, so confirm before travelling.
