    (Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in the city! The historic center of João Pessoa and its beautiful churches, right where the city started (for those who don't know, Ladeira São Francisco is the first street in the city). The São Francisco complex houses a fascinating collection. It is worth checking out: a message not only for tourists, but also for residents who usually just transit through the chaotic part of the city center. (Original) Um dos lugares mais lindos da cidade! O centro histórico de João Pessoa e suas belas igrejas, logo por onde a cidade começou (aos que não sabem, a Ladeira São Francisco é a primeira rua da cidade). O complexo São Francisco abriga um acervo fascinante. Vale a pena conferir os: recado não só para os turistas, mas também para os moradores que só costumam transitar pela parte caótica do centro da cidade.

    Great tour, the Church's guide even spoke English. Some of the translated placards have broken English translation, but we didn't need them since the guide did such a good job explaining.

    Amazing church and grounds, an AWESOME cultural experience, with your guides in every area, each very much specialized in telling you all about that specific place. Great storeroom of history, art and culture of the State of Paraíba and Brazil.

  • 4/5 SUA VIDA MAIS S. 6 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Very interesting local history. The museum is full of memorabilia from that time filled with many interesting stories. Although the place look small, it's actually huge.

  • 5/5 James 3 months ago on Google • 855 reviews New
    A massive church that is gorgeous inside. For an entry fee of R$15 (R$7.50 for students and elderly), one receives a private guided tour (in English, Spanish, or Portuguese) where someone working in the church walks you through each of the rooms, explains the history, and shows you around. Besides the altar and the main room, one also gets to see the chapel, the sacristy, exhibition space, the cloister, the chorus, and many other rooms. It was truly such a cool experience to see the different styles with many baroque elements.

  • 5/5 Tomas P. 1 month ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Nice and very decorated church in (late) baroque and rococo style. The building is well maintained and the tour is well worth the (small) entrance fee. The tour also includes as nice view over the area!

    (Translated by Google) The church is beautiful but I only had the opportunity to visit outside because I was on a tour and there would be no time. At the front there is a seller of caramelized chestnuts and wonderful cookies. (Original) A igreja é linda mas só tive a oportunidade de visitar por fora porque estava em um tour e não daria tempo.
