Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Saúde e Glória, Catholic church in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Saúde e Glória is a colonial church in Salvador completed in 1724 and known for its artistic details. The building combines baroque, rococo, and neoclassical elements with a single nave, upper galleries, and a painted ceiling depicting the Assumption of Mary.

Lieutenant-Colonel Manuel Ramos Parente and his wife Maria de Almeida Reis built the church on their farmland at Alvo, in gratitude for the end of the 1720 plague of Marseille. The 4th Viceroy, Vasco Fernandes Cesar de Menezes, laid the silver cornerstone on 2 February 1723; the chancel, vestry and tribunes were finished and the first mass celebrated in 1726, the year Parente died and his widow carried on the work. The carvings were replaced from 1814, the nave ceiling repainted by J. Rabut in 1887, and the church reopened in 1889. It closed in 1998, was damaged in 2012 and reopened in 2021.

The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Health, a devotion linked to the end of the Great Plague of Marseilles in 1720. Its annual festival follows a tradition begun in 1724, when the image was carried in procession through the streets before the first mass. The square outside, Praça Severino Vieira, is formed by 19th-century sobrados.

The church stands where five streets converge on the Largo da Saúde, on the second line of hills east of the Historic Center; the square is Praça Severino Vieira. The 19th-century sobrados around it are much deteriorated and altered. The churchyard is semi-circular, with iron railings dating to 1887.

The nave ceiling, painted by Domingos da Costa Filgueira in 1769, is among the first trompe-l'œil ceilings in Bahia, modelled on Andrea Pozzo's 1694 ceiling at St. Ignatius in Rome. Its central Assumption of the Virgin is framed by painted angels, flowers, arches and columns. Blue-and-white azulejos imported from Lisbon between 1780 and 1790 line the lower walls of nave and chancel.
