Igreja do Santíssimo Sacramento e Sant'Ana

The Church of the Blessed Sacrament of Saint Anne (Igreja do Santíssimo Sacramento e Sant'Ana) is an 18th-century Roman Catholic church located in Nazaré, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The church is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia. Its construction began in 1747 and continued over the next two decades. The church sits on the second line of hills below the Historic Center of Salvador in the neighborhood of Nazaré. It was built on a hill above the Gravatá Fountain, which likely dates to the early 18th century. The church has a single nave with no side chapels; the side aisles are surmounted by tribunes. The transept features a cupola with a skylight, a feature unique in Bahia. The rear of the church has an ossuary constructed around a small courtyard. The church was listed as a historic structure by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute in 1941.
