Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Ajuda, Catholic church in Itaquaquecetuba, Brazil.
The Nossa Senhora da Ajuda church stands at the highest point of the Tietê Valley, featuring two structures within the same grounds.
Construction of the church began in 1624, serving as a strategic point for local population growth and Jesuit teaching activities in nearby indigenous villages.
The church maintains traditions from Guaianases indigenous peoples and Jesuits through events such as the Santa Cruz dance performances.
Located at Praça Padre João Alvares in Itaquaquecetuba, the church reopened in September 2014 after seven years of restoration work.
The original building incorporates rammed earth construction techniques from 1624, combined with a more recent additional structure on the property.
