Igreja de São Pedro dos Pescadores

Fishing, work and celebration

Jurujuba · Niterói · Século XX e tradição pesqueira

Why visit

A larger building replaced the fishermen’s small chapel in 1947. Devotion to Saint Peter connects the church to Jurujuba’s maritime life and its June boat procession. This stop tells history through the work and celebrations of a coastal community.

What to look for

  • Façade within the fishing community
  • Patron saint’s image, when the church is open
What does this heritage reveal about the society that built it?

Visiting details

Confirm opening with the community. The boat procession is part of the June calendar, not a daily attraction.

Ask the institution about step-free access and which areas are open.

Respect any services and photography rules; indoor access may be restricted.
