Igreja Matriz de São Jorge, Portuguese colonial church and religious museum in Ilhéus, Brazil

The church features a pyramid-shaped tower with corner pinnacles, stone frames around doors, windows, and embrasures across its two-body facade structure.

The São Jorge Parish was established in 1556 by Dom Pero Fernandes Sardinha, with the initial church construction completed by the first settlers in 1572.

The Sacred Art Museum, founded in 1970, displays a collection of Baroque religious statues, liturgical silver items, and sacred documents within the church complex.

The church and museum are located at the intersection of Rua Conselheiro Dantas in central Ilhéus, maintaining regular visiting hours for religious services and exhibitions.

The structure contains unusual architectural elements, including lateral niches near the crossing arch, similar to those found in the College of Olinda.
