Igreja Matriz de Santa Teresa is a compact, historic parish in Várzea with a photogenic colonial façade and intimate interior details (altarpiece, stained glass, wooden pews). The Serra dos Órgãos hills provide dramatic backdrops from nearby streets. Easy walkable location with limited on-street parking; interior access usually allowed outside Mass—dress respectfully and ask before using flash. Best at golden hour for warm façade light and after sunset for moody interiors; weekdays are quieter.
