Parish Church of Santo Antonio of Jacobina, 18th-century Catholic church in Jacobina, Brazil

The Parish Church of Santo Antonio occupies 724 square meters and features two floors with multiple naves and a prominent bell tower.

Constructed in 1759 through local donations, the church represents Portuguese colonial influence during Brazil's gold mining period in Jacobina.

The church maintains Portuguese architectural elements while serving as the main religious center for Catholic ceremonies and community gatherings in Jacobina.

Located at Praça Rui Barbosa, the church operates under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bonfim and welcomes visitors throughout the year.

The structure underwent extensive restoration after termite damage in 2013, leading to temporary closure until its reopening in 2021.
