Igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, an 18th-century twin-towered church, stands as one of Angola's most significant pilgrimage destinations. Its elegant blue-and-white interior, highlighted by a sky-blue rococo ceiling and a gilded altar, draws visitors from near and far. The church is accessed via an impressive zigzagging stairway of over 600 steps, adorned with azulejos, urns, fountains, and statues, showcasing exquisite Portuguese rococo artistry. The site comes alive in late summer during the Festa de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, when thousands of pilgrims gather in hopes of miracles. For those who prefer not to climb, a nearby road provides a convenient route to the top.

Insane church built over 400years ago. Plays an important role in the lives of locals and street children, but is also a major tourist point given it’s long history.

Historical landmark in Luanda. Church is colonial, simple but very pretty. Was open all day when I visited. Not a long stop but definitely enjoyable.
