Holy Spirit Chapel

Built by the Irmandade do Divino Espírito Santo, the work has its history linked to the Orfãs Asylum. That's because the Asylum was one of the Brotherhood's goals. In 1900, the Parish of Nossa Senhora do Desterro pledged to donate the land as long as the Brotherhood built the building. Thus, in 1909 the Chapel was ready and, in 1910, the Asylum. Marked by colorful stained glass windows, the chapel is very popular for weddings. At the end of May, the Festa do Divino Espírito Santo takes place at Praça Getúlio Vargas, in front of the Church.   Address: Praça Getúlio Vargas, 212
