Igreja de São Pantaleão, Colonial church in São Luís, Brazil
The church displays a late Baroque architectural design with monumental towers and a plain facade adorned with wrought iron elements from the 19th century.
Construction of the church began in 1780 under the guidance of Pantaleão Rodrigues de Castro and Pedro da Cunha, reaching completion in 1817.
The interior contains relics of Saint Severa, donated in 1829, which remain an important element for religious practices and local devotion.
The building functions as the parish church for Saint Joseph and Saint Pantaleon Parish within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Luís do Maranhão.
A foundling wheel installed in 1829 provided a method for anonymous infant abandonment, reflecting historical social practices of the period.
