Good


Built in 1946. The facade of this brick building surprises by the curved glass curtain, between the pillars, illuminating the interior of the building. The west facade has one wooden brise-soleil adjustable as needed and the north facade has horizontal concrete vents. On the front panel there is a mosaic of Paulo Werneck. Inside is "The first Mass in Brazil", painted by Portinari in the year of the opening of the building.
