Church and Convent of Saint Antony
Church and Convent of Saint Antony, Baroque church and monastery in Cairu, Brazil.
The Church and Convent of Saint Antony features a monumental frontispiece and stands on an elevated position with two courtyards and a garden complex.
Construction of this religious complex started in 1654, when Franciscan friars established the site, and major works were completed by 1686.
The church frontispiece introduced new architectural elements that influenced the design of many Franciscan churches across Northeast Brazil during colonial times.
The monastery contains preserved architectural elements, including an aqueduct system that supplied water to the kitchen and courtyard areas.
The structure represents an early example of Brazilian Baroque architecture, displaying characteristics that predate similar architectural features in Portugal.
