Catedral Basílica Menor Nossa Senhora da Luz

The imposing cathedral standing at the bustling Praca Tirandetes, is one of the city's finest architectural legacies. The current structure of the Catedral Basílica Menor Nossa Senhora da Luz was built in 1893, but the church's history dates back to the 17th Century. Built in the Neo-Gothic style, the cathedral's interior features are as impressive as its striking facade. The cathedral was elevated to the status of a basilica in 1993, a century after it was built.
