Buca Protestant Baptist Church is a religious building in English parish style featuring a cross-shaped layout and stone masonry typical of 19th century construction. The interior displays traditional architectural features common to Protestant houses of worship from this era.
The building was constructed in 1834 as All Saints British Protestant Church and initially served British settlers. It passed to Buca Municipality in 1961 and served various civic purposes before returning to religious use in 2001.
The congregation gathers here for Baptist worship services, continuing a Protestant presence that has shaped the building's purpose since its earliest days.
