Capela de Nossa Senhora Santana

The stone and limestone chapel features a single nave, main altar, small sacristy, and porch leading to the entrance point.

Built in the 17th century, this chapel belonged to the Santana Sugar Mill, owned by Santo Antão friars before being acquired by the Mem de Sá family.

The interior contains stone baptismal fonts, wooden saint figures, and the image of Senhora Sant'Ana displayed on the central altar.

Located in the Coutos district near the Engenho River, the chapel stands as a protected monument under both IPHAN and IPAC heritage organizations.

The chapel structure follows an incomplete T-shaped design with a bell tower and conversation window in the sacristy section.
