Brasilia, May 15 (BNA): The mausoleum built for Pele’s golden sarcophagus was inaugurated on Monday.
On the second floor of a columnar cemetery in Santos, outside São Paulo, the shrine welcomes audiences with two golden statues of Pele. The floor is artificial turf; the walls are pictures of fans in the stadium; And there is a never-ending soundtrack of cheers, as if Pele was still playing. The ceiling above the three-time World Cup champion’s coffin is blue.
Pele was buried here on Jan. 3, five days after he died at age 82 of colon cancer, according to the Associated Press.
The mausoleum was planned by the owner of the cemetery, Bibi Alstott, who died in 2018.
