About

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian, commonly known as the Rio de Janeiro Cathedral, is a striking modernist landmark. Its unique conical shape, inspired by Mayan pyramids, stands in stark contrast to traditional European cathedrals. The interior is equally impressive, with four magnificent stained-glass windows stretching 64 meters from floor to ceiling, creating a vibrant, light-filled space.
