My son, on a business trip, along with his wife had purchased a rosary bead for my birthday and said I really needed to look up the Basilica. I loved all of it but was most impressed with the bell tower (while being very surprised that the bells did not “swing”). If given the opportunity I would not hesitate to visit myself.

Would definitely make for a wonderful visit.

The art and colouring is beautiful, and there looks to be a whole days worth of things to explore there.

What is the most Catholic country in the world? The answer is actually two-fold.

The architecture and design is breathtaking and I’m surprised that this is the first time I’m reading about this. It will certainly be on my bucket list when I visit Brazil.

I loved how it is keeping old-style architecture, but with a very modern interior design 🙂 Thanks for sharing this interesting post!

I like the interior, the design is impressive, but not over the top, and very clean design with nice colors and wall paintings.

The architecture and tiling where certainly beautiful. I wonder how many people are going to church right now there during the pandemic.

In particular the colourful interior decor with mosaics and tiles is fantastic. The bell tower is impressive and resembles a mini Eiffel Tower. It must have been great to have the place to yourself to take your time and see everything.
