Behind the Palácio da Justiça is one of Recife’s most beautiful church complexes. Igreja da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco, the church, was built in 1606. The intricate Portuguese tile work is stunning. Less so is the painting of Franciscan monks being crucified. Don’t miss the Capela Dourada (Golden Chapel), built in Baroque style in 1697 adjacent to the church.
The altar has two levels built of jacaranda wood covered with gold, while nearby Jesus is shown hanging from a golden cross. It’s quite moving. A Franciscan convent and small Sacred
Art Museum are also part of the complex. The church is open daily and services are held on a regular schedule.
