Old Church

Perched on a hill with nice views of the sea and the old plaza, it is picturesque and has a beautiful altar. A little rundown on the outside. Working church with an ongoing mass when we visited.

One of many nice churches in Olinda !

This church is the first one we see when coming from Recife ! Its architecture is Baroque in style and its colors are typical of the churches in this part of the world !
