A large area is divided into plots, which is filled with salt water.
These shallow areas contain plenty of food for the migratory birds.
Many species of birds have found their habitat in these waters, including the shy flamingos.

The current basilica was designed by Reinaldo Manuel dos Santos and was consecrated in March 1784. The single-nave church is framed by eight side chapels. It is lined with marble on the inside and has numerous statues and paintings.

The human figures are set up in any number of places. They are welded together from "discs" and symbolize athletes, sometimes a cyclist, sometimes a runner, etc. It looks impressive and interesting.

Very interesting figures are placed along the street and pedestrian path.
They are probably intended to encourage people to move more on foot and by bike.
