Paraty's Unmissable Treasures

Paraty preserves its 18th and 19th-century colonial architecture, characterized by whitewashed walls and cobblestone streets. This collection highlights the town's religious heritage through its four distinct colonial churches, which historically served different social classes. The list also includes defensive fortifications overlooking the bay, a cultural hub housed in a historic 1754 mansion, and the iconic city monument marking the entrance to this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Igreja Santa Rita de Cassia

Constructed in 1722, this is the oldest church in Paraty. It features traditional Jesuit architecture and currently houses the Museum of Sacred Art, displaying religious artifacts from the 17th to 20th centuries.
