Object description

The Chapel of Our Lady of Victory is an abandoned 18th-century Roman Catholic chapel located in São Francisco do Conde, Bahia, Brazil. It was dedicated to Our Lady of Victory. The chapel was once adjacent to the plantation house of the Engenho do Paramirim. The chapel covers 279 square metres and is noted for its large, Byzantine-style domes covered in blue and white industrial tiles imported from Portugal. The chapel is in ruins and its images and baptismal font were first taken to Usina Cinco Rios, a sugarcane factory; the factory is now in ruins and the location of the chapel contents are unknown.
