Capela Senhor dos Passos da Santa Casa de Misericórdia, Catholic chapel in Santa Casa de Misericórdia complex, Porto Alegre, Brazil
The neogothic religious building features two symmetrical towers, decorated with stained glass windows created by Judith Fortes in the 1940s.
The chapel construction began in 1819 and concluded in 1835, serving as the first religious structure within the Santa Casa hospital complex.
The statue of Nosso Senhor dos Passos, brought from Rio de Janeiro in 1806, became central to Catholic processions before the chapel completion.
The chapel entrance changed from a grand staircase to a lateral access during the 1940s urban development of Porto Alegre.
The interior walls display preserved paintings by Italian artist Emilio Sessa from the 1960s, restored in 2003 to maintain their original condition.
