A
Museu de Arte Sacra de Pernambuco
This museum is housed in Olinda’s former Episcopal Palace, built in 1676. It was closed for restorations during our visit, but it normally contains a good collection of sacred art and a photographic homage to the city. Along the street, the Igreja da Misericórdia, built in 1540, has fine azulejos and gilded carvings, but was closed for restorations during our visit.
