João Pessoa - Jesuit College and Convent

Jesuit College and Convent

From Praça São Francisco Rua Duque de Caxias runs south past the Misericódia church (1612) to Praça João Pessoa, in which is another large religious complex, the Jesuit College (1586) and the Jesuit house associated with it. The College is now occupied by the Law Faculty of the University; the conventual buildings, now known as the Palácio da Redenção, house the state government.
