Church of Saint Michael Paulista
Church of Saint Michael Paulista, Catholic chapel in São Miguel Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil
The whitewashed church building features rammed earth walls, wooden beams, and a single nave with a porch extending along its lateral wall.
Constructed in 1580 and rebuilt in 1622, this religious structure served as a missionary center for indigenous Guaianás people under Jesuit guidance.
The chapel contains colonial-era artifacts, including turned jacaranda wood pieces and a recently discovered mural painting behind the altar construction.
The chapel maintains restricted visiting hours and can accommodate up to 100 visitors, with access available near São Miguel Paulista train station.
Archaeological excavations inside the chapel revealed ancient objects and human remains from the early colonial period of São Paulo.
