Catedral Basílica de Curitiba

Curitiba


Inaugurated in 1893 and completely restored in 2012, Curitiba's neo-Gothic main cathedral – inspired by Barcelona's metropolitan cathedral – isn't one of Brazil's most marvelous, but it is worth checking out for its pretty stained-glass installations, which were added during a 1930s restoration.
