Car Rental in Sao Joaquim Da Barra

In the capital of Brazil, the fabulous city of Brasilia built in just three years is Santuário Dom Bosco. John Bosco, a priest who lived in the 19th century, was a missionary open to everything new, which is quite unusual for that time. He was canonized in the year 1934. A square church building is designed from forty high pointed arches. The glass of large high windows shimmer with shades of blue, and inside there is a cedar crucifix and a giant chandelier made of Murano glass. Well, of course, no tour of Brazilian religious sites is complete without a visit to the amazing new Temple of Solomon in São Paulo. The building surrounded by a beautiful garden is striking with its beauty. The temple offers guided tours in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

The Church of Santa Teresa in El Salvador was opened back in 1697. A former monastery building located nearby is now occupied by the Museum of Spiritual Art. It keeps a valuable collection of portrait sculptures of the 17th-19th centuries. These sculptures were created from wood, ivory, clay, steatite (soapstone), and other materials. One of the most remarkable relics is the sculpture of the Benedictine monk Agostinho da Piedade. Here you can see works of the sculptor and monk Agostinho de Jesus and paintings by great colonialist artists like Ricardo do Pilar. The Museum is located on Sodre Street. In Brasilia, on Esplanada dos Ministérios, you will find the interesting-looking round Museum of Indigenous Peoples. It tells the history of people of a pre-colonial period with their own culture and traditions. Here you can see weapons and tools of those times, feather hats, ceramic products and much more created by hands of the indigenous peoples of South America. The museum has its own craft shop.
