Igreja e Convento de Nossa Senhora da Piedade, Catholic church and convent in Centro district, Salvador, Brazil.
The Igreja e Convento de Nossa Senhora da Piedade features neoclassical architecture with detailed interior decorations and a prominent facade in downtown Salvador.
The church construction began in 1683, and French Capuchin friars managed the convent until 1702 when Italian Capuchins from Propaganda Fide took control.
The structure represents a central point for religious activities in Salvador, offering daily celebrations and confessions while serving the local Catholic community.
The church maintains regular visiting hours from Monday to Friday, providing mass services and educational programs about its religious significance.
In 2016, the Archbishop of Salvador elevated the church to Archdiocesan Sanctuary status during its 330th anniversary celebration.
