Joaquim Pinto de Oliveira Thebas, commonly known as Tebas, was a Brazilian engineer, architect and stonemason who likely until the age of 58 was held captive as a slave by Portuguese settlers in Brazil, and possibly also by the Catholic Church. According to journalist and historian Afonso Antonio de Freitas (1870-1930), there was no construction work of importance in São Paulo at the time in which Tebas did not play a role, including the city's water supply. His modernising work in São Paulo was largely erased by demolition, but is still to be seen in the church facades of Church of the Third Order of Carmel and Church of the Wounds of the Seraphic Father Saint Francis. Tebas' importance to the history of Black peoples in Brazil has been compared to that of Luiz Gama.

The Church of the Wounds of the Seraphic Father Saint Francis of the Venerable Third Order of Saint Francis of Penance of São Paulo, usually known as the Church of the Wounds of the Seraphic Father Saint Francis, is a colonial temple located in Largo de São Francisco, in the historic center of São Paulo, Brazil. Along with the Church of Saint Francis, it composes a very important element in the layout of the old São Paulo de Piratininga.
