Igreja de São Lourenço dos Índios
Igreja de São Lourenço dos Índios, Colonial church in Niterói, Brazil
The São Lourenço dos Índios Church features a main facade with double-leaf wooden doors, stone frames, and three windows at choir level.
The church grounds were granted to indigenous chief Araribóia in 1568 as recognition for his assistance in expelling French invaders from the region.
The main altar contains a marble centerpiece depicting Saint Lawrence's martyrdom, complemented by relief ornaments representing incense burners and religious symbols.
The church holds weekly mass services every Sunday at 9:30 AM and visitors can arrange guided tours by contacting Mr. Egídio Perpétuo.
The wooden altarpiece inside the church represents the finest example of Jesuit art in Brazil, dating back to the late 16th century.
