Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios
Paraty's largest neoclassical parish church, facing the shaded central square of the old town, with a market on weekends.
This is Paraty's parish church. Construction began in 1787 and was not finally completed until 1873. Its neoclassical façade is imposing, and it is the largest church in town. Legend says part of the construction funds came from pirate treasure. The shaded Matriz Square in front is the heart of the old town, often hosting markets and street performances on weekends. Inside are several side altars and religious paintings, and visitors can enter during Mass times.
