This card shows the Convent of St. Anthony. I couldn't find any info about it, but Christelle wrote me some things about it:
The Convent was completed in 1780, but some parts date from 1615, making it one of Rio's oldest structure. Its baroque interior contains colonial arts. The sacristy is covered in Portuguese tiles. The church's bells hang from a double arch as from ceiling.
Here's Wikipedia page, but it's in Portuguese - pt.wikipedia.org
Thank you, Christelle !
