Church of the Blessed Sacrament at Rua do Passo
Church of the Blessed Sacrament at Rua do Passo, Catholic church in Historic Center, Salvador, Brazil
The Church of the Blessed Sacrament rises above a 50-degree angled staircase connecting Rua do Passo and Ladeira do Carmo in Salvador.
The church construction began in 1736 following a royal warrant from Portugal, after the parish establishment by Archbishop Sebastião Monteiro da Vide in 1718.
The church stairs gained international recognition through the 1962 film O Pagador de Promessas, which received the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival.
Following extensive restoration in 2018, the church includes elevators and ramps for accessibility, plus a viewing tower overlooking All Saints Bay.
Portuguese tiles from 1750s decorate the interior walls, while the presbytery features marble inlay work in multiple colors.
