Church and Convent of Our Lady of Palma
Church and Convent of Our Lady of Palma, Catholic church building in Salvador, Brazil
The Church and Convent of Our Lady of Palma features a simple facade with a single bell tower and internal decorative elements from the 16th century.
The construction of this religious complex began in 1630 under Bernardino da Cruz Arraes, following its use as an encampment during the Recapture of Bahia.
The church contains numerous paintings, religious implements, and furniture that represent the Portuguese colonial influence on Brazilian religious architecture.
The religious complex, located at Praça Ana Nery, maintains regular opening hours for visitors who wish to explore its architectural and historical elements.
Sister Joana Angélica, the abbess of this convent, lost her life in 1822 while protecting the premises from Portuguese troops during Brazil's independence movement.
