Ermida Dom Bosco, Hermitage church in Lago Sul, Brazil.
The concrete structure features clean geometric lines and large windows, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces throughout the day.
Oscar Niemeyer designed this hermitage in 1957 as part of the architectural development during the construction phase of the new capital.
The building pays tribute to Saint John Bosco, who predicted in 1883 the creation of a major civilization between parallels 15 and 20.
Located in the Parque Ecologico Dom Bosco, visitors can reach the church by car or public transportation from central Brasilia.
The structure sits on elevated ground, offering views of Lake Paranoa and serving as both a religious site and architectural monument.
