It was just quite amazing to see these "many colorful statues" of saints above the length of the main aisle on its both sides which is really the spectacle that stands out the most in my memory of this "overall ornate" church (really plenty of beauty, intricacies & elaborateness to see inside a relatively small area), and yes walking along the main aisle of this small church (which is just about a third of the long rectangular building of the Monastery where the other parts are off-limits to the public) was actually somewhat of a reminiscent of that along the main aisle of the much-bigger Metropolitan Cathedral in Santiago (where also right above the length of the aisle on both sides are saint statues not colorful ones like here but gold-glittered). And nearby, at just about a 5-minute walk (to the north which is in the direction straight out from this church) is Farol Santander with some outdoor balconies on its 26th floor for some great views of the city & where are also some exhibition floors including those with great displays of the bank that the building once was, and another 5-to-10-minute walk further north from that (through some cobble-stoned "pedestrian streets") is the square Praca da Se with the city's "main cathedral" Catedral da Se de Sao Paulo which is a pretty plain one inside except for its "huge pillars" but still a worthwhile visit especially right outside of it where there's a "big circle" like a compass or such & also a nice standing statue of St. Paul.
