In São Miguel community, São Francisco Church preserves a tangible part of Pracuúba’s history before municipal independence. The municipality attributes its construction to the Pontes family in 1931. A University of Brasília study also records that its stones were transported by boat along the Piririm River.

This makes the building a testimony to labour, river journeys and community organisation. Observe the stone construction and, when welcomed by residents, learn about memories connected with the church. Arrange access beforehand and respect services and photography guidance. Historical recognition does not confirm daily opening or a regular guided-visit service.
