Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Livramento dos Homens Pardos, Colonial church in Recife, Brazil.

The church features classical colonial lines with a facade decorated in carved stone and granite elements along its exterior walls.

Built in 1694, the church began as a small chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Livramento before undergoing major renovations in 1830.

The church served as a religious center for pardos, representing a large portion of Recife's population during colonial times.

Located in Recife's Historic Center, the church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.

The church's altars, created between 1715 and 1717 by artist João da Costa Furtado, display exceptional wooden carvings from the colonial period.
