The Convent of Bom Jesus dos Perdões and Chapel of Mercy (Portuguese: Capela de Nossa Senhora da Piedade e Recolhimento de Bom Jesus dos Perdões) is an 18th-century Roman Catholic church and convent located in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
The church and convent sit in a dense urban area of small houses and sobrados built at the end of the 19th century.
The chapel and convent were expanded in 1789 by Teodósio Gonçalves da Silva and his wife Ana de Souza Queiroz.
[1][2][3][4] The chapel has a simple façade with a single portal with fluted pilasters, apparently modified in the 19th century in the Neoclassical style.
The portal, which no longer aligns with the building after modifications in the 19th century, has a pediment with volutes and a cross at center; its design was inspired by that of the Church of Saint Michael, located to the south below the Pelourinho.
Similar pediments can be found at Solar Ferrão, also in the Pelourinho; the building of the Museum of Art of Bahia and the Casa de Oração dos Jesuítas[1][2][3][4] The nave of the chapel has a single aisle on one side.
