Irmã Dulce Memorial, Biographical museum in Largo de Roma, Salvador, Brazil
The Irmã Dulce Memorial in Largo de Roma displays more than 800 objects from the nun's life, including her habit, photographs, documents, and personal belongings arranged across several exhibition spaces. The items are organized in thematic areas that document different periods and aspects of her work and daily routines.
The memorial was established in 1993, one year after Sister Dulce's death, to preserve her life and legacy. It opened shortly after her canonization, making it an important center for understanding her life's work.
The memorial serves as a place where visitors connect with the life and values of Sister Dulce through her belongings and spaces. The rooms show how her faith guided her daily choices and work with people in need.
The center is located near downtown Salvador and is open Tuesday through Sunday with no admission fee for visitors. The site is easily accessible on foot, and signs in the neighborhood help guide people to the complex.
The memorial preserves Sister Dulce's personal room in its original state, including the chair where she spent many nights in prayer and rest. This intimate space offers visitors a direct sense of her ascetic way of living.
