The church forms part of the historic and cultural landscape of the area known as Pequena África.
Its location beside Largo de São Francisco da Prainha and Pedra do Sal.
History
It was built in an area linked to the former port and the history of the African and Afro-Brazilian population.
My tip
Do not travel solely to enter the church, as it may be closed. Its value also lies in the area’s historical context.
