Located in Siderópolis, Santa Catarina, this unique chapel spans an area of just 4.24 m² and was inaugurated in November 2019 in Parque Aguaí. The chapel, dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, was conceptualized by Beto Ferreira, the owner of the park, following discussions with historian Nicola Gava, who oversaw its construction. The small structure also features works by local artists, including sculptures and mosaics that enhance its artistic value.

The chapel's claim to fame is its assertion of being the smallest church in the Americas, an aspect the administration is keen on formalizing with an official document. The chapel offers a serene space for devotion and reflection and operates Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 am to 6 pm. Visitors are treated not only to a sacred environment but also to the creative talents of the region's artists, such as the sculptures by Galante and the paintings by Caturra, making it a cultural as well as spiritual landmark.

As interest grows in this quaint tribute to Saint Francis, efforts to promote the chapel may boost local tourism in Siderópolis. This could lead to greater awareness of the town's cultural heritage and the significance of such small yet meaningful places in the broader context of religion and community in Brazil. The blending of spirituality and local artistry also highlights the role of such intimate spaces in fostering community connections and preserving cultural narratives.
