The church was officially established as a parish on July 23, 1847.
It is one of the few surviving historical religious buildings in Manaus that retains its original colonial-inspired foundation.
The church is situated on a site formerly known as the old 'Largo dos Remédios' square.
The structure serves as a primary site for traditional Catholic celebrations in the Manaus historic district.
Paróquia Nossa Senhora dos Remédios is one of the oldest Catholic churches in Manaus, established originally in 1847. The structure underwent a significant renovation in the early 20th century, resulting in its current neoclassical architectural profile. It is located in the historic center of the city, near the port area, reflecting the period when Manaus was a central hub for the rubber boom. The interior features preserved decorative elements that highlight its religious and cultural heritage. The parish remains an active site for local worship and community services. Its location at the intersection of Rua Leovegildo Coêlho places it within the traditional downtown grid of the city.
