58 - Restoration of N. Sra. dos Remédios Main Church of Paraty - Phase I Paraty (RJ) Angra Brazil Amount of support: R$ 1,4 million.

By mid of the 17th century, around a small chapel dedicated to N. Sra. dos Remédios, the village of Paraty was formed. In 1668, the chapel was demolished to give place to a bigger church, which was only completed in 1712. Seventy-five years later that church was already small to shelter all Paraty's believers, and therefore it was substituted by a new, bigger and more sumptuous church, inaugurated in 1873. In the neoclassic style construction stand out the unfinished towers and the church's back not completed. The Church was recognized as a National Historical Monument by IPHAN [National Institute of Historical and Artistic Property] in 1962. Presently, the church's space is used by the community for cultural and social purposes.
