Lonely Planet review for Oratório Vira-Saia

In the early 18th century, local residents built numerous oratories (glass-encased niches containing images of saints) on street corners around town, to keep evil spirits at bay. Of the few that remain, there's one on Rua dos Paulistas, another on Rua Antônio Dias, and the most famous of all, Oratório Vira-Saia.
