Igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, Gothic church in São Luís, Brazil

Igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios is a church building with a white facade and Gothic design in São Luís. Its central bell tower, three entrance doors, and twelve side windows with pointed arches define its exterior form.

The first chapel was built in 1719 on land donated by the Franciscan superior João da Silva Cutrim to Captain Manoel Monteiro de Carvalho. It collapsed at the end of the 18th century and was rebuilt with donations gathered by the hermit Francisco Xavier. In 1860 governor João Silveira de Sousa funded repairs costing 12:000$000 réis, adding five large arches and four furnished halls.

The church is the stage for the Festejo de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, one of Maranhão's most traditional celebrations. In 1870 César Marques described nights with two marching bands, stalls set up as small hotels, and flags across the square, with medals and ribbons exchanged under the porch.

The building sits at Gonçalves Dias Square overlooking the waterfront and is easy to reach on foot. It serves as a popular location for weddings and is regularly open for visitors and the faithful.

The building is the only example of Gothic architecture in São Luís and displays four evangelist statues on its side walls. These sculptures are an unusual feature for religious architecture in this region of Brazil.
