Death was considered the only path to liberty (''liberdade'') for slaves. The condemned were led to the Igreja Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte (''Church of Our Lady of Good Death'') to perform a final prayer for a rapid and painless death. The church remains on Rua do Carmo at the corner of Rua Tabatinguera.
