Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos

Congonhas, Brazil

4.5 (0)

Overview

Church in Congonhas, Brazil. It lies in southeastern Brazil, most comfortable in the dry winter months from June to August.

Why visit: Portuguese baroque in gold leaf and soapstone, and Niemeyer's concrete-and-glass modernism — four centuries apart, both remarkable.

Things to do

›Step inside — the plain exteriors often hide gilded baroque interiors
›Check mass times before visiting as a sightseer
›Dress modestly
›Look for the soapstone prophets and painted ceilings in Minas Gerais
