Saint Lucy Chapel (Capela Santa Luzia)

Saint Lucy Chapel, known as Capela Santa Luzia, is a Catholic temple located in the historic center of Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Built in 1537, it is considered the oldest building in Vitória. The chapel was originally constructed as a private temple on the farm of Duarte de Lemos, the first resident of the island of Santo Antônio, now the city of Vitória. The chapel's simple architectural features are common characteristics of the state's baroque churches, which proves possible alterations to its traits, since it was built before the Baroque period, prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The chapel underwent several renovations over time, including restorations in 1947, 1970, 1994–1996, 1998, 2005, 2012, and 2016. From 1950 to 1970, it housed the Museum of Sacred Art of Espírito Santo, which was then transferred to the Solar Monjardim Museum. Between 1976 and 1994, it served as the Art and Research Gallery of the Federal University of Espírito Santo. Today, it is an essential tourist attraction for those visiting the historic center of Vitória. (en.wikipedia.org)
