Our Lady of Purification Matriz Church, Catholic church building in Prado, Brazil.
The Our Lady of Purification Matriz Church features a nave, main chapel, two sacristies, and a tower with a pyramidal top and bell system.
The construction of the current church building began in 1853, replacing an original temple from 1764 that was established to attract settlers.
The church became the focal point of religious life in Prado when Nossa Senhora da Purificação was designated as the municipal patron saint in 1896.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors, with guided tours available to learn about its architectural and historical details.
The structure incorporates traditional construction materials from its era, including clay and whale oil, with remnants of baroque style from previous building.
