Church of Saint Rita, Colonial church in Saúde, Brazil.

The Church of Saint Rita displays Portuguese colonial architecture with ornate decorations, double-arched bell tower, and a plain white exterior facade in downtown Rio de Janeiro.

Built in 1722, this religious structure represents one of Rio de Janeiro's earliest churches, reflecting architectural trends brought by Portuguese settlers to colonial Brazil.

The interior contains religious artifacts including relics of Santa Rita and Santo Lenho, along with an oil painting depicting the baptism of Jesus Christ.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and conducts religious services, with public transportation stops located within walking distance of the entrance.

The building combines elements of Portuguese Baroque architecture with local Brazilian construction techniques, creating a distinct architectural pattern in Rio's historic center.
