 The exterior was again painted in 1974 by IPHAN, but is now in a state of advanced decay.The chapel has a simple façade with a single portal with fluted pilasters, apparently modified in the 19th century in the Neoclassical style.The portal, which no longer aligns with the building after modifications in the 19th century, has a pediment with volutes and a cross at center; its design was inspired by that of the Church of Saint Michael, located to the south below the Pelourinho.
