Afro-Brazilian memory and devotion

A church linked to Black religious brotherhoods in colonial Rio

The church has great historical importance through its relationship with the Black population and religious brotherhoods.

Its relationship with Black religious brotherhoods and the memory of Tiradentes.

History

The Nossa Senhora da Lampadosa brotherhood brought together Africans and people of African descent in the colonial period. Tiradentes passed through the former church before his execution.

My tip

Its main value lies in its history. Read about Black religious brotherhoods before visiting to better understand its importance.

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