Ruins of the Church of São José do Queimado, Historical church ruins in Serra, Brazil
The remaining stone walls and foundations of São José do Queimado Church stand in an open landscape within the Serra municipality of Espírito Santo.
In 1849, this church became the center of a major slave uprising when promised freedom in exchange for construction work was not granted.
The ruins represent a memorial to the resistance of enslaved people, led by figures like Chico Prego during the Queimado Insurrection.
The archaeological site received renovation investments in 2019 to transform the location into an open-air museum documenting Serra's regional history.
Archaeological excavations in 2021 uncovered new artifacts beneath the church ruins, expanding knowledge about the local population's historical practices.
