The Church of Saint Peter of the Clergymen was built in the tradition of Bahian churches of the 18th century, with a single nave and lateral corridors surmounted by tribunes.
It lacks the transverse sacristy of other churches of the period.
The exterior is of stone masonry and brick and opens directly onto the Terreiro de Jesus.
A small church yard is of stone and is enclosed by an iron fence.
A planned right-hand bell tower was never constructed.
The interior of the church has a nave, lateral corridors, chancel, sacristy, choir, ossuary, meeting room, and miscellaneous smaller rooms.
The decor of the interior of the church represents the transition between the both Rococo and Neoclassical styles in Bahia.
