Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Amparo, Catholic church in Valença, Brazil
The church stands on Morro do Amparo with two towers adorned in blue and white tiles, featuring five arched doors and choir windows on its facade.
Construction of the church began in 1800, with Bernardino de Senna Madureira leading its reconstruction in the early nineteenth century following simplified architectural plans.
The church holds annual celebrations from October 30 to November 8, preceding Valença's anniversary on November 10, marking centuries of local traditions.

The left sacristy displays nineteenth-century Portuguese tiles with white designs on yellow backgrounds, while the left tower houses an 1882 clock.
