Igreja e Convento de Nossa Senhora da Piedade

Igreja e Convento de Nossa Senhora da Piedade, Catholic church and convent in Centro district, Salvador, Brazil.

Igreja e Convento de Nossa Senhora da Piedade is a Catholic church and Capuchin convent in Salvador, Bahia. The French Capuchins built the hospice between 1683 and 1686; the Italian Capuchins later demolished the church and rebuilt it in its present form. The complex was enlarged in 1709–1717 and 1809–1825, and its facade was modified in the early 20th century.

French Capuchins built the hospice between 1683 and 1686 and ran it until their expulsion around 1700; Italian Capuchins of Propaganda Fide then took over the house in 1705. In 1712 the hospice was raised to a residence and prefecture as the mission of Bahia or Rio São Francisco. The church was later demolished and rebuilt by the Italian Capuchins, and the complex was enlarged in 1709–1717 and 1809–1825.

The name refers to Our Lady of Piety, a Marian devotion. Since the 17th century the church and convent have offered daily celebrations and confessions, plus spiritual guidance to groups. The church was raised to Archdiocesan Sanctuary on 1 August 2016 by Archbishop Dom Murilo Krieger, marking the jubilee of 330 years since construction.

The church and convent stand in Salvador's historic centre, at Largo da Piedade, reachable on foot from the Pelourinho area. Sacramental assistance has been offered here since the 17th century, with daily celebrations and confessions, so visitors may find the church in use for services.

The church became an Archdiocesan Sanctuary on 1 August 2016, when Archbishop Murilo Krieger raised it to that title for the jubilee of 330 years since its construction. The date marks the anniversary of the 1686 inauguration of the Capuchin hospice.
