Igreja Ortodoxa Sao Jorge, Orthodox Church in Lago Sul, Brazil

The church presents a cylindrical structure with a diameter of thirty meters, featuring a modern dome adapted from Orthodox architectural traditions.

Construction of the church began on June 8, 1993, following architect Oscar Niemeyer's 1986 design, and concluded on February 11, 1994.

The Orthodox community formed when Syrian and Lebanese immigrants settled in Nucleo Bandeirante between 1956 and 1957.

The worship space occupies the first floor, accessed by an external curved ramp, while the parish hall remains independently accessible on the ground level.

Zenithal lighting system directs natural light to the main altar through narrow openings that also provide ventilation throughout the building.
