Visit to the Crypt of the Sé Cathedral

5.0 (47 Reviews)

Experience a journey into the past in the underground chapel built in Gothic style, 7 meters below the altar of the Cathedral. The Crypt holds the mortal remains of bishops of São Paulo and historical figures such as Chief Tibiriçá. With more than a century of existence, the site houses an exhibition on the Holy Shroud of Turin and sculptures in Carrara marble, making this tour an unparalleled historical and spiritual experience.

Meeting point: left side of the Crypt, in front of the “TOUR” sign. Present your voucher at the Cathedral's office to exchange it for your tour wristband.

    Hélio
    O local é muito interessante e a guia é simpática e atenciosa. Só houve um problema: durante a visita, a guia fez comentários machistas muito inadequados. Por exemplo, ao dizer que a cripta foi cavada apenas com pás e com a força dos trabalhadores da época (sem máquinas), a guia disse: "imaginem a dificuldade de cavar toda essa área só com a força dos braços, as feministas que vivem pedindo direitos iguais não vieram ajudar, eu tenho certeza que se elas fossem chamadas para escavar a cripta não iam conseguir fazer esse trabalho". Ao ouvir essa declaração tao absurda e fora de contexto, eu disse a ela que discordava dessa. afirmação , pois conheço varias mulheres fortes, inclusive fisicamente e que fazem trabalho braçal melhor do que muitos pedreiros. marceneiros, mecânicos etc. Enfim: é muito triste ver uma pessoa que trabalha com com cultura e com história desmerecendo a luta das feministas que deram suas vidas para que hoje as mulheres possam votar, possam seguir uma profissão e serem quem elas quiserem.
