The Church of Our Lady of Nazareth of Engenho Itaperoá () is an abandoned 18th-century Roman Catholic church in São Cristóvão, Sergipe, Brazil. It is also referred to as the Chapel of Our Lady of Nazareth of Engenho Itaperoá (). The church is located on the former Fazenda Itaperoá, a sugarcane plantation, west of the city center São Cristóvão. The church belonged to the Parish of Our Lady of Victory (Freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Victória), which included Santo Antônio and São Gonçalo, in Camassari. It was listed as a historic structure by the State of Sergipe in 1984; despite its heritage designation, the church is in advanced state of ruin. Read more on Wikipedia
