a small church called san lorenzo-deacon and martyr, is located at 28 belisario dominguez, to the left of the facade of the santo domingo church. this small church is the descendant of a number of chapels that have been on this spot, and that in the 16th century was one of four chapels that were at the corners of the monastery property. one of the oldest structures that was at this spot was called the "chapel of the "morenos"" (dark-skinned), named so because here is where the dominican friars evangelized to the indigenous population. the church currently at the spot originally had 4 altars, dedicated to the crucified christ, the rosary, saint joseph and saint dismas respectively. however, these have long since been replaced with one simple altar. the portal of the church is from the 19th century with a simple arch on posts decorated with sculpted vegetation. above this is a monogram of christ's name. this church has serious structural problems. it is thought that its cupola could collapse at any moment. there was one case where a stone almost a meter across fell, destroying pews, but this happened at a time when no one was in the church.

the settlement of the region where jaraguá is now located began in the first decades of the eighteenth century. the first settlers were prospectors looking for gold who established a settlement called córrego de jaraguá on the banks of the rio pari. unhealthy conditions and flooding of the river convinced the inhabitants to move the town to higher ground where they built a church called nossa senhora da penha on a wide and straight street called rua direita, after the tradition in portugal. by 1748 the church was ready with five altars of gold and silver. in 1776 a second church was built called nossa senhora do rosario, and in 1828 a third church called nossa senhora da conceição was completed. in 1833 jaraguá was made a "vila" with the name of nossa senhora da penha de jaraguá. in 1882 the vila was dismembered from pirenópolis to become a municipality. in the 1960s the government finished the br-153 highway, or belem-brasília, which led to rapid development of the region. see jaraguá for the history in portuguese.
