The project is by Professor Ernfried Frick and has stained glass of Helmar, the altars are made of Carrara marble and the Via Sacra was executed by the artist of Sao Carlos "Almira Ragonesi Bruno". The image of St. Charles Borromeo dating from the foundation of the city, with the head and hands carved in wood, is in the cathedral.
