São Bernardino de Sena Convent
São Bernardino de Sena Convent, 18th-century Franciscan convent in Angra dos Reis, Brazil.
The convent stands on Santo Antonio Hill, featuring colonial architecture with three-arch entrance gallery and remaining stone walls of former monastic facilities.
Built between 1758 and 1763 to replace an earlier monastery destroyed by French corsair Jean-François Duclerc's attack in 1710.
The complex includes the Church of São Francisco, which continues to hold religious services and contains a cemetery within its grounds.
The site currently operates as a Cultural Center, offering guided tours, music events, heritage exhibitions, workshops, and spaces for cultural group rehearsals.
A marble Lioz cross, gifted by the King of Portugal to the Franciscans, marks the entrance to the neighborhood bearing the convent's name.
