There Is A Chapel At The Foot Of The Statue

At the foot of the enormous monument is a little church that visitors can visit. The chapel of Our Lady of Aparécida is small, yet it is beautifully decorated. It was erected in 2006 as part of the festivities commemorating the monument’s 75th anniversary. The modest marriages that take place in the chapel, which is dedicated to Our Lady of Aparecida, are quite special. It is closed most of the time, but due to the fact that it was created in the form of a grid, one may look inside.
