The São Francisco de Assis Church is located close to the Juscelino Kubitschek Square but at a higher elevation. Inside, the highlight is the gilding work carried out on elements such as the pulpit, cross arch and altarpiece. Additionally, its interior has paintings with illusionist effects that have been influenced by the Rococo style.
