A beautiful church almost unknown by most porto-alegrenses. It is placed in a great location, with nice views of Porto Alegre and nearby cities landscapes. Built in 1992, this church is at the top of a hill with 283 meters (928 feet) of altitude, with a modern architecture and engineering, designed to support the strong winds of the location. It is somewhat difficult to get to this place, because a cab ride from downtown would be pricey. However, if you rent a car in Porto Alegre, it's worth trying.
