Pele’s mausoleum in Brazil opens to public

by gulftimes



SANTOS, Brazil: The mausoleum built for the golden casket of Pele was opened for visitors on Monday.

On the second floor of a vertical cemetery in Santos, outside Sao Paulo, the mausoleum welcomes fans with two golden statues of Pele; the floor is artificial grass; the walls are images of fans in a stadium; and there’s an endless soundtrack of cheers, as if Pelé was still playing. The ceiling above the casket of the three-time World Cup champion is blue.

Pele was laid to rest here on Jan. 3, five days after he died at age 82 of colon cancer.
