We are not fans of churches just because every place tourists go has them. But this one is small and pretty. Worth a stop.

So much history in this church. It is considered the "post card" of Paraty with good reason, all arriving boat have a beautiful view of it and it is the most photographed spot in Paraty. Worth a visit and a photo.
