The Capela de Nossa Senhora do Vencimento is an eighteenth-century Roman Catholic chapel in ruins located in São Francisco do Conde, Bahia, Brazil, originally dedicated to Our Lady of Victory. Built around 1700, the structure exemplifies the Rococo and Baroque styles characteristic of Portuguese colonial architecture, with materials including azulejo (blue and white Portuguese tiles), marble, and stucco. Covering 279 square metres, the chapel once stood adjacent to the plantation house of Engenho do Paramirim and is distinguished by its large Byzantine-style domes clad in imported Portuguese tiles. Now abandoned, the chapel has lost its religious furnishings—its images and baptismal font were removed to the now-defunct Usina Cinco Rios sugarcane factory, and their current location remains unknown. The site represents an important example of Portuguese colonial heritage in Brazil.
