Itajai, art deco church

*

I don`t think that if you say you are going to Brazil, most people ask if you are visiting Itajai, as it`s a port city with a rather shabby atmosphere and few notable buildings.

 However, there a couple of nice beaches nearby, an enjoyable art centre and this rather nice Art Deco church. Art Deco isn`t a style much associated with churches. It`s far more commonly seen in apartment blocks, seaside archtecture, cinemas and transportation hubs such as airports or bus stations. 

This is a Lutheran church. I couldn`t see inside but judging from photos on the web it`s rather plain. It`s on Rua. Dr. José Bonifácio Malburg, number 415.
