Igreja Matriz de São José, Catholic church in São José, Brazil
The Igreja Matriz de São José exhibits colonial architecture with a prominent tower and stands in the historical center of São José, Santa Catarina.
The church construction began in 1755 as a small chapel, and Emperor Dom Pedro II provided funds for its reconstruction after the tower collapsed in 1846.
The church functions as both a religious center and a cultural monument, hosting regular masses and maintaining traditional Catholic ceremonies in São José.
The church office operates Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with free admission for visitors.
The building underwent multiple restorations between 1968 and 2014, preserving its original colonial features while adapting to modern structural requirements.
