Templo de Salomão, Religious structure in Brás district, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Templo de Salomão is a place of worship in the Brás neighborhood of São Paulo, Brazil, spanning eleven levels with copper domes and walls clad in Jerusalem limestone. The main sanctuary holds thousands of worshipers on Spanish-made wooden benches and includes dozens of classrooms for religious education.
The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God finished building this structure in 2014 under the guidance of Bishop Edir Macedo. Construction took four years and followed biblical descriptions of the temple in ancient Jerusalem.
The name refers to the biblical temple in Jerusalem, whose architectural elements such as menorah lamps and a gilded shrine are recreated inside. Visitors can view these symbolic objects during public services and ceremonies.
The building opens for public worship services and ceremonies, which usually take place several times a week. Visitors should wear modest clothing and can walk freely through the outdoor areas and ground floor.
A conveyor system inside the building moves offerings from worshipers automatically to a secure room. Tens of thousands of LED lamps in the ceiling vault simulate a starry sky during evening ceremonies.
