GOTHIC ART WORTHY OF A STANDING OVATION

Consolação street, 1660 – Consolação

Gothic art in the open sky is the attraction of the Consolação cemetery. Sounds macabre? Nah! Although many famous personalities are six feet under in that place, such as Monteiro Lobato, Mário de Andrade, and Tarsila do Amaral, there's still an incredible art collection with more than 300 sculptures.

Exuding wealth and exquisite taste even in death, the architecture was taken to the next level in this build and its details.
