Igreja do Divino Espírito Santo
Igreja do Divino Espírito Santo, Colonial church in Santo Antonio district, Recife, Brazil.
The Igreja do Divino Espírito Santo features a single nave with lateral corridors, galleries, and five 19th-century altars inside its structure.
Built between 1686 and 1690 on the site of a former Calvinist French church, the building served as a Jesuit college until their expulsion in 1759.
The church includes neoclassical altars and decorative 18th-century figurative tiles that represent Portuguese religious architectural traditions in Brazil.
Located near Praça Dezessete, the church maintains regular religious services under the supervision of the Franciscan convent of Cairú since 1907.
The building's original five-arch galilee entrance was demolished in 1823 to expand the adjacent college space, as confirmed by IPHAN excavations in 1977.
