Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Glória do Outeiro, Baroque church on Outeiro hill in Glória, Brazil.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Glória do Outeiro is a Baroque church built on a hilltop in Glória, featuring two connected octagonal rooms with distinctive blue and white Portuguese tiles. A square tower crowns the structure and creates a balanced appearance both from outside and within.

A 17th-century hermitage stood here until Cláudio do Amaral Gurgel donated land to the Brotherhood of Glória in 1699. The present church was inaugurated in 1739, its design attributed by tradition to military engineer José Cardoso Ramalho. After the Portuguese court arrived in 1808, Princess Maria da Glória was baptized here in 1819, followed by Pedro II and Princess Isabel; in 1839 Pedro II granted the brotherhood the title "imperial".

The brotherhood that runs the church received the title "Imperial" from Dom Pedro II in 1839, after the Portuguese royal family settled in Rio in 1808 and adopted the hilltop shrine. Princess Maria da Glória, later Maria II of Portugal, was baptised here in 1819, and Dom Pedro II and Princess Isabel followed. The blue-and-white Lisbon tiles in the nave, laid between 1735 and 1740, show biblical scenes, while the sacristy tiles depict hunting scenes.

The church stands on the Outeiro da Glória, reached on foot up the hill from the Glória neighbourhood; the terrace and its low white wall with a central cross form the forecourt. Land reclamation in the 19th century pushed the shoreline about 200 metres away, so the church no longer faces the water directly. The entrance passes through the vaulted galilee at the base of the tower.

The two-octagon plan, with the nave in one and the sacristy in the other, has no precedent in Brazil and no clear parallel in Portugal. The sacristy tiles show hunting scenes rather than biblical ones, and the lioz stone portals came from Lisbon in the second half of the 18th century.
