Church Of Santa Rita de Cássia - Paraty - Igreja de Santa Rita de Cássia - Paraty
Built in 1722 by the pardos released under the invocation of Menino Deus, Santa Rita and Santa Quitéria. Some years later it was repaired and rebuilt with increase by white devotees who began to use it as a matrix during the construction of this new temple. It is the oldest church in the city due to the demolition of the chapels of São Roque and the old one.
Church of Jesuit architecture presents in the internal elements, that integrate it, the characteristics of the baroque-rococo, in particular in the policromada sculpture of the main altar, that flanked the pediment, the only angels praying in altars of Paraty.
In an attempt to give unity among its altars, when the restoration of the high altar was completed, the two corner altars were painted, which present a new painting. Its altars are dedicated to Santa Rita, Our Lady of Conception and Our Lady of Carmo.
Interesting details in this church are the rails of its finely crafted wooden inner porches and the church courtyard, in the columbarium style, separated from the church by a cemetery and a garden. This cemetery dates from the early nineteenth century.
In it, today the Museum of Sacred Art of Paraty works, under the responsibility of IBRAM.
