Saint Benedict Monastery

The current monastery building was designed by D Adelbert Gresnicht and built in the first half of the 20th century. The building has some features which pertain to German style of construction. The interior is beautifully decorated too. Today, 40 monks live inside the monastery and they mostly produce their own food.

This monastery dedicated to Sao Bento or in English San Benedict is one of the most visited monuments of this type in this enormous city.
