Curial Chapel of SÃÂ£o Francisco de Assis

In 1945, the SÃÂ£o Francisco de Assis Chapel, better known as Igrejinha da Pampulha, was practically completed, but it did not obtain authorization from the Metropolitan Curia to be consecrated and function as a religious temple. Only in 1959, the church was consecrated as a religious temple by D. JoÃÂ£o de Rezende Costa. Designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, it was considered a major architectural innovation. Its interior houses the Via-Sacra, made up of fourteen panels by CÃÂ¢ndido Portinari. The gardens are designed by Burle Marx and the bronze bas-reliefs were sculpted by Alfredo Ceschiatti.
