This beauty is thanks to the many creative touches of its architect, Carlos Alberto Naves.
Carlos designed it so that sunlight would always stream in during the day, no matter when you visit.
Instead of using just one shade, twelve different blue stained glasses were incorporated, and the higher up you look, the more blue glass is used, creating a stunning gradient.
Amazingly, as much as 12 tons of stained glass were used!
