| Recife - Churches - Nossa Senhora do Carmo Basilic |
 In the year of 1687, the Boa Vista's
Palace, constructed by Maurício de Nassau, was donated to the Carmelite Order for the construction of the Basilica and
Convent. The church is in baroque style and has works of notable sacred and artistic expression, with a golden altar with
the image in natural size of Recife's patron saint, Our Lady Carmo. In the convent, Frei Caneca did his religious votes
