Photos of São Paulo Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral, also known as Metro Paulitana Cathedral. The fourth largest Gothic cathedral in the world, the gateway to St. Paul's tourism, the church was built in 1913, took 40 years, and became a luxurious engineering tribute when St. Paul celebrated the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city. 1. Church style The entire project was designed and constructed by Maximiliano architects. In terms of artistic features, it combines Gothic and Renaissance styles. In addition to the Gothic spire, the cathedral's semi-circular arches and the central dome make the cathedral more renaissance-style. The designer imitated the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. 2. Details of the church Its predecessor was a colonial-era cathedral, and the catacombs of the church house the coffins of famous people, including former Indian chiefs. Each glass window reflects a different religious theme in the Bible. The church also houses the largest pipe organ in Latin America - an Italian pipe organ with up to 12,000 sound pipes and a large set of bells containing 65 small bells.
