Lonely Planet review

The excellent Museu de Arte Sacra consists of the Igreja do Santo Alexandre and the adjoining Palâcio Episcopal (Bishop's Palace), both recently restored. Santo Alexandre was Belém's first church, founded by Jesuits in the early 17th century. The church nave contains brilliant sculpture and detailing, virtually all done by indentured Indians using plaster and local red cedar.
