Just to the north of the cathedral is a small 18th-century Baroque church called San Pedro of the Clerics. It’s worth a peek, but the larger church across the plaza is much more interesting. Igreja São Domingos de Gusmão da Ordem Terceira was completed in 1723. It too was built in Baroque style and is best known for its carved processional saints and other sacred objects.
City guides mention that the saints were often hollow and used to transport money between Portugal and Brazil. Note that there are Asian touches here as well. You can walk upstairs to the second floor where a reception room features exquisitely carved furniture.
