The Church of Our Lady of Remedies (), or Chapel of Our Lady of Remedies (), is an 18th-century Roman Catholic church located in Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. It was constructed between 1700 and 1705, likely to replace an early church structure. It is the oldest church in Feira de Santana. The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Remedies. It is noted for its wide bell tower, which is topped by a pyramid decorated with fragments of porcelain imported from Macao, a technique found in churches in Cachoeira. The church was listed as a state heritage site by the Institute of Artistic and Cultural Heritage of Bahia in 2006. Read more on Wikipedia
