Bonfim's Chapel, Portuguese colonial chapel in Angra dos Reis, Brazil.
The chapel features a portico supported by four columns, with a sacristy and bell tower positioned alongside the main structure.
Manuel Francisco Gomes constructed this religious building in 1780, incorporating elements of Baroque and Rococo architectural styles.
The portico design reflects social structures of colonial Brazil, as it provided a designated space for enslaved individuals during religious ceremonies.
Located three kilometers from downtown Angra dos Reis, visitors can reach the chapel by boat or through short walks from adjacent areas.
The recently restored 19th-century altar reveals its original color scheme after multiple layers of paint were carefully removed during preservation work.
