Monte Serrat, Summit and religious landmark in Santos, Brazil.
Monte Serrat rises 166 meters above sea level, forming a prominent natural elevation that overlooks the city of Santos and its surrounding coastal region.
The Nossa Senhora de Monte Serrat chapel, constructed between 1598 and 1603, stands at the summit as a testament to early Portuguese colonial architecture.
The former casino building at the summit, operational from 1927 to 1946, now functions as a venue for local events and community gatherings.
Visitors can reach the summit via a funicular railway system or by climbing 415 steps, with both options providing different perspectives of the ascending journey.
The mountain gained religious significance following a reported incident where falling rocks prevented a pirate attack, leading to its recognition as a sacred site.
