São Gonçalo Church, Baroque church in central São Paulo, Brazil

The São Gonçalo Church features a single tower with curved finishes and a dome with lantern above the main chapel at Praça João Mendes.

The church construction began in 1756 when Friar Antônio da Madre de Deus Galvão funded a chapel through the Brotherhood of Nossa Senhora da Conceição and São Gonçalo Garcia.

The church incorporates Italian architectural influences in its retable dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Conceição, combining baroque and rococo decorative elements.

The temple opens Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering Japanese language masses every Sunday morning.

Since 1966, the church serves as the Personal Parish for Japanese descendants in São Paulo, managed by Jesuit priests for the Japanese-Brazilian community.
