Lonely Planet review for Matriz NS do Pilar

On the southwest side of town, the Matriz NS do Pilar is the second-most-opulent church in Brazil (after Salvador’s São Francisco). It has 434kg of gold and silver and is one of Brazil’s finest showcases of artwork. Note the wild-bird chandelier holders, the scrolled church doors and the hair on Jesus (the real stuff, donated by a penitent worshipper).
