Church and Monastery of Our Lady of Grace

The Church and Monastery of Our Lady of Grace (Portuguese: Igreja e Mosteiro de Nossa Senhora da Graça, or Igreja e Abadia de Nossa Senhora da Graça) is an 18th-century Roman Catholic church located in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

[1][2][3][4] The Church and Monastery of Grace is located in the Graça neighborhood on a hill south of the Historic Center of Salvador, high above the Bay of All Saints.

She had Marian visions after her baptism in France and returned to Brazil to construct a simple chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Grace.

In addition, Piedade Pinto renovated and restored the monastery, retaining only the tower with its orange-shaped dome.

The church has three altars; the central is dedicated to Our Lady of Grace, the right to Saint Joseph, and the left to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

[6] Manuel Lopes Rodrigues (1860–1917) completed several paintings in the church in the late 19th century depicting Catarina Paraguassú and Caramuru.
