  A superconducting nanoscopic cylinder, with radius $R = 4.0\xi$ and height $D
= 4.0\xi$ is submitted to an applied field along the cylinder axis. The
Ginzburg-Landau theory is solved in three-dimensions using the simulated
annealing technique to minimize the free energy functional. We obtain different
vortex patterns, some of which are giant vortices and up to twelve vortices are
able to fit inside the cylinder
