A grand old church next to a busy plaza that comes alive by night full of crowds and dancers.
Perhaps its dominating size and the fact that you just can not stand far enough back to appreciate its splendor mean that there are better churches in the town.
But dont let this put you off, its worth walking past

Originally meant for the white elite, this stately church was begun in 1646 and completed in 1873. It is the largest church in Paraty, taking up more than an entire city block.
It was not open on the day my spouse and I had a walking tour with our private guide, but we nevertheless enjoyed its beautiful facade.

If you have the opportunity (if it is open), try to visit its interesting inside as well as the simple, but beautiful facade.

Probably the biggest sight of all there is to do in Paraty, the church is free to visit and allows photography. The inside is adorned with white, blue and gold paper roses, which makes it an unusual place of worship. Well worth stopping to discover.

The church is worth a visit, for it colonial times touch. Just sit inside in one of the benches and contemplate the entire interior for a few minutes. The very post card of Paraty.

We were driven by coach to the top of the hill where the church is situated as the 640 steps from the bottom we’re being renovated! Lovely views from the top and from the courtyard (54 steps) below. A lovely building and decorated inside.

Nice church, you cannot visit the interior but you can take great pictures of the monument. In my opinion, it’s the nicest one in Paraty, greatly conserved.

This church was one of our first stops with our guide, Cristiano, during a tour of Old Town Paraty. Uniquely beautiful inside - the red and white roses theme dominates the interior and is different than any church we saw on our Estrada Real tour. Pictures are allowed.
Our guide explained the history behind the building of the church. It was a segregated church for upper classes.
Worth your time if in Old Town Paraty.
