The Chapel of Our Lady of the Ladder (Portuguese: Capela de Nossa Senhora da Escada) is a 16th-century Roman Catholic church located in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
It was constructed as part of the Nossa Senhora de Escada sugar plantation by Lázaro Arévolo, likely in 1566; he donated the chapel to the Jesuits in the late 16th century.
John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen, used the site to invade Salvador in April and May 1638.
[1][2][4] The chapel includes a nave, altar, sacristy, choir, enclosed porch, and belfry.
[1] Further work was carried out to stabilize the building structure due to the risk of collapse in 2007.
