Jardim do Hospital São João de Deus

The Garden of Hospital São João de Deus (Portuguese: Jardim do Hospital São João de Deus) is an abandoned garden in Cachoeira, Bahia, Brazil. It is part of the São João de Deus Hospital architectural ensemble that includes a hospital building, a large Baroque-style church of the early 18th century t

hat faces Praça Dr. Aristides Milton, and a set of houses built by the Santa Casa da Misericórdia along Rua Durval Chagas. The garden is located to the rear of the chapel. The garden was listed as a historic structure by National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) in 1938; five of the ceramic objects that crown the columns of the garden were listed separately the same year.
