Capela do Pilar, Colonial church in Ribeirão Pires, Brazil.
The Capela do Pilar displays white walls, a single bell tower, and traditional Portuguese colonial architectural elements in its construction and design.
The church was built in 1714 by bandeirante Antonio Corrêa de Lemos after his recovery from illness, making it the second oldest religious building in ABC region.
The church holds regular Catholic services and maintains its role as a central point for religious gatherings in the Pilar neighborhood of Ribeirão Pires.
Visitors can access the church through guided tours coordinated by the local parish office, which provides information about its architectural and historical features.
The bell tower, added in 1809 by Captain João Franco da Rocha, represents one of the few remaining original colonial church structures in São Paulo state.
