Funicular on Monte Serrat in Santos

Monte Serrat is the most beautiful place to visit in Santos. You can see the whole city from the top of it. There is a chapel, a cafe and areas for  social and cultural events.  There was a casino in 1934, hosting artists such as Carmen Miranda Francisco Alves and Silvio Caldas until its closure in 1946 when  President Gaspar Dutra banned gambling in Brazil.  There is a room with magic mirrors that magnify or shrink a person. You can have lots of fun playing there. There is also a miracle room that  receives many visitors who made a pledge.
