Nossa Senhora Aparecida Cathedral - Clarice Costa de Oliveira




The Nossa Senhora Aparecida Cathedral was designed by Oscar Niemeyer in late 1950s. It is a round construction with 70m of diameter and sixteen concrete columns along it. Stained glasses cover the spaces between the columns and, in the inside, there are angels hung from the ceiling, creating a heavenly environment. Looking from the outside, the Cathedral seems small but once inside, people can see how big it is.
