Casa Pia and College of the Orphans of Saint Joachim
Casa Pia and College of the Orphans of Saint Joachim, Educational and religious complex in Salvador, Brazil.
The Casa Pia contains multiple structures including a secondary school, chapel, and orphanage connected by stone corridors and decorated with Portuguese architectural elements.
Constructed in 1704 as a Jesuit novitiate, the building transformed into an orphanage in 1759 following the departure of Jesuit groups from Brazil.
The chapel features a ceiling painting by José Teófilo de Jesus depicting the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, completed in 1826.
The complex requires advance permission for visits and maintains its function as an educational institution while preserving its historical structures.
The chapel design differs from traditional layouts with its nave positioned parallel to the main facade rather than perpendicular.
