São Luís, Brazil
Chapel of Laranjeiras
The Chapel of Laranjeiras, known fully as the Chapel of São José da Quinta das Laranjeiras, and more commonly the Chapel of Saint Joseph, is located in the Historic Center of São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. It was completed in 1815 as part of a large farm belonging to Luiz José Gonçalves da Silva, a merchant and mayor of São Luís. The farm was absorbed and lost into the urban fabric of São Luís in the 19th and 20th century, but the chapel and the ornate gate of the farm remain on Rua Oswaldo Cruz, also known as Rua Grande.
