Was a little tougher to find (taxi nearly took me to a whole other Dom Bosco) and was rather busy when I went). The building is actually more beautiful on the inside as you get the full effect of the tall slender stained glass windows.

The sanctuary is a symbol for all D. Bosco's children who studied in the many Salesianos schools worldwide.It's a very large concrete structure with tall purple-ish vitriol that illuminates the inside with a soothing color.

Amazing blue stained glasses. Try to visit it during the day and at night in order to get both effects of the sunlight from outside as the chandelier after dark.

We visited during the last rays of the sun and were overwhelmed by the blue beauty of the thousands of blue glass panes. It is really inspiring and looking up at the giant statue of Dom Bosco gives you the feeling of his power. Know his name in my country because of a boys' home. It reminds me of St. Chapelle in Paris. As dusk fell the massive chandelier lit up adding to the incredible beauty. The ceiling is also a work of art. Do not miss seeing this place.

This church is located apart from most of the tourist attractions in Brasilia. It's a working church. My sister was married here. Parking is available on the side. There is no tour, per se, but there are a few signs explaining the features of the church. You basically have the freedom to wander around, respectively. We took pictures all over as did others. Courtesy dictates that all discussions are done quietly. I have visited this church numerous times as it's easy to get visitors into this attraction.

Out of the 13 countries I have visited to, and all of the churches I have seen (including Vatican city), Sanutario Dom Bosco is by far the most beautiful, modern church I have ever seen! Definitely a must see!!!

If you have the time to visit this place then do it! So beautiful!! It's not just another church... it is a piece of art!

Absolutely beautiful - as you go through the doors you enter a magical world of light, colour and tranquillity. Try and wait for a time when there are very few people there and drink up the atmosphere of serinity by yourself - an absolute must if you are in Brazilia

This cathedral was AMAZING and beautiful. It was definitely my favorite place in Brasilia. It would be a shame to go to Brasilia and not see this gem.

That is my preference place to pray. The light, the silence of sound when not in service, we feel like heaven. There is easy parking.

The Cathedral is one of the postcard views of Brasilia. Yet I rate Dom Bosco higher as a place of atmosphere. Despite the traffic noise there is a sense of peace. I visited several times, most memorably a mass after the Haitian earthquake. I recommend including this on any tour of Brasilia.

A very nice and beautiful church from the inside with its vitraux and an amazing chandeliers. Out of this world.
