Capela dos Aflitos, em SP, volta a receber fi�is ap�s restaura��o e refor�a mem�ria negra da cidade

The Capela dos Aflitos, one of São Paulo's oldest churches, is set to reopen following extensive restoration work, marking a significant cultural and historical milestone. Hidden in the heart of the Liberdade neighborhood, the chapel honors the memory of the enslaved, indigenous people, the poor, and condemned individuals buried in the adjacent Cemitério dos Aflitos. This reopening not only restores a vital piece of the city's heritage but also serves as a poignant reminder of the city’s complex past, particularly its history of slavery and social inequality. It's a powerful gesture in reinforcing São Paulo’s African-Brazilian cultural identity.
