Brazil: Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Congonhas

Today I got eight postcards: one from Brazil, one from Japan, one from Vietnam, one from Egypt, my first two cards from Guernsey and two from Germany. 

The card from Brazil shows the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Congonhas. The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Congonhas was built in the second half of the 18th century. The church has a Rococo interior and an outdoor stairway decorated with statues of the prophets. Since 1985 is the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Congonhas on the UNESCO World Heritage List.


With nice stamps:
Definitives
Cristo Redentor
Prehistoric Animals (from set of four) (issued 12-10-2014)
The dinosaur is scaly.


Thank You very much Silvia!
