Church of Our Lady of Pilar
Church of Our Lady of Pilar, Catholic church in Duque de Caxias, Brazil
The Church of Our Lady of Pilar displays Baroque architectural elements with materials from the Monastery of St. Benedict incorporated into its structure.
The church, constructed in 1720, served as a landing point for D. Pedro I during his travels from Rio de Janeiro via the Rio Iguaçu tributaries.
The church maintains its status as a Heritage of Portuguese Influence site, representing the architectural traditions brought to Brazil during colonial times.
The religious building remains open for services and visits, located near transportation routes connecting to the Greater Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area.
Materials used in the church construction originate from the Monastery of St. Benedict, as documented in the 1863 Empire of Brazil gazetteer.
