The Sobrado at No. 2 Rua Ana Nery is a Portuguese-colonial era sobrado, or urban manor house, in Cachoeira, Bahia, Brazil. Built in the early 18th century by a wealthy family, it occupies a prominent corner site opening onto Praca Aclamacao, the town historic public square, with views of the Town Hall of Cachoeira, the House of Prayer of the Carmelite Third Order, and the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The building covers 680 square meters over two levels and a small attic, and was listed as a historic structure by Brazil National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage in 1943. It now houses two town government offices, the Secretary of Tourism on the ground floor and the Secretary of Education of Cachoeira on the upper floor.
