Church of Our Lord of Bonfim, Colonial Catholic church in Pirenópolis, Brazil
The church features two bell towers, a symmetrical nave layout, and three altars with the main altar decorated with intricate wooden carvings and ornaments.
Construction of the church began in 1750 when Sergeant Major António José de Campos brought the image of Lord Bonfim from Salvador with 264 enslaved individuals.
The church holds regular Sunday masses at 10:30 and maintains traditional celebrations, including the annual Lord Bonfim festival on September 14th.
Located in the historic center of Pirenópolis, the church contains four bells that rank among the oldest in the state of Goiás.
The main altar contains a door in its central niche that opens to reveal a painting of the Crucified Christ with Jerusalem in the background.
