The Church of Santo Antônio da Mouraria is a Brazilian Catholic temple, built in 1724 in devotion to Saint Anthony.

[1] Vasco Fernandes César de Meneses commanded the construction of a religious temple to meet the needs of the population and avoid conflicts with the Convent of Desterro.

It had the architecture of rural chapels of the time, with a single body, where the crossing arch divided the nave from the apse, sacristies on the sides and a bell tower.

All the walls of the nave, up to a height of 1.90 meters, were covered with 18th-century Portuguese tiles depicting biblical scenes.

[2][4] From 1900 to 1905, two side altars were built in the nave, one for the Gospel of Saint Joseph and the other for Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii, and it received carved and cut wooden altarpieces inspired by the neoclassical style.
