Oratório da Cruz do Pascoal, Religious monument in Salvador, Brazil
The Oratório da Cruz do Pascoal stands 7 meters tall and features a column with a niche containing an image of Nossa Senhora do Pilar.
Portuguese settler Pascoal Marques de Almeida constructed this religious structure in 1743, which received protective railings for preservation in 1874.
The oratory's exterior displays 18th-century Portuguese tiles that represent the artistic techniques and religious expressions of colonial Brazil.
The monument remains under the maintenance of Salvador Municipal Prefecture and welcomes visitors throughout the year at Largo da Cruz do Pascoal.
Located in a triangular square, this column-shaped oratory draws inspiration from the bell towers of 18th-century Bahian churches.
