Facts and practical information

The Parish Church of Our Lady of Victory is a 17th-century Roman Catholic church in São Cristóvão, Sergipe, Brazil. The church is one of the earliest remaining structures in both the municipality of São Cristóvão and the state of Sergipe; it is also one of the main elements of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the São Francisco Square in the Town of São Cristóvão. The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Victory and remains home to an active congregation and belongs to the Archdiocese of Aracaju. While the church was constructed in 1608, it was heavily damaged during the Dutch occupation of São Cristóvão from 1637 to 1645. It was restored in the 17th century and subsequently modified in the 19th century. While the interior of the church is simple, it has paintings attributed to the artist José Teófilo de Jesus. The Parish Church of Our Lady of Victory was listed as a historic structure by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute in 1943. ()
