Basílica de Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora
Built in 1902 in neogothic stile, the church impresses by its size. On the front facade there is a big granite portal; on he top of it there is an image of Our Lady. The biggest organ in Latin America is here. It was made in Italy by Pontificia Fabrica d'Organi Tamburini in Crema , according to the project of the great organist Fernando Germani and Installed in 1956. The organ has 11.130 pipes, electro pneumatic driven and today it is controlled by five computers. Concerts of sacred and classical music take place in the church on Sundays and also on special occasions.
