catedral metropolitana

Like the rest of the monuments in Brasilia - this is quite futuristic but it is stunning in its own right. It was originally commissioned to be a secular building for all faiths however the government ran out of money (no surprises) and the Catholic Church (who has lots of money) took over finishing it which is why it appears to be a government church (while Brazil is supposedly secular). You will walk in and be amazed by this modern take of a church.

Incredible. It is the most beautiful project architect Oscar Niemeyer . Angels on the cathedral ceiling is the maximum .

For me this is the architectural masterpiece of Brasilia. It is beautifull from outside, but when you get inside you get the true impression of its art.No more words, is the city´s must.

A wonderfull Niemeyer architecture Cathedral in Brasília, ome of the architectural masterpieces of this city.

It is undeniable that this Cathedral is the best place in Brasilia. It is awesome, amazing. There you can enjoy the perfection of Oscar Niemeyer. This was my second time there and you can feel a big piece and a great atmosphere inside there. I just love it! :D

Went in an atheist, came out damn near converted. A gorgeous structure both inside and out. I was fortunate that when I visited it was virtually empty so lovely and peaceful. You can't come to Brasilia and not come here...

It's a very interesting monument! The outside is prettier but from inside you can see how they sort of glued the glasses. I used to live in Brasilia and I always found amazing all the buildings around that area. Next to the Cathedral there's a new building (I forgot the name) if you are visiting the area try to get in.

Beautiful and peaceful place to pray! The angels hanging from the roof the light in the beautiful glasses!!! The peaceful athmosphere

If there's one thing you see in this city make sure it's the Cathedral. It doesn't look like very much from the outside but as you emerge from the entrance tunnel you are in a cavernous modernistic space topped entirely by glass with stained glass, daylight and hanging angels to attract your attention upwards.It's tranquility built on a scale to inspire.

very nice design, certainly worth to take a look inside. So do not pass without taking a look inside!

nice church with colored glass windows. construction very much in the spirit of brasilia, interesting... :)

From the outside it is already impressive, but from the inside even more! When you talk on a far end, and keep your ear at the wall, you can really hear the other person very well talking to you via the walk! Don't leave this city without going in

I'm neither catholic, nor religious, but I could have stayed here for hours. Beautiful architecture, soul refreshing atmosphere, lovely light. Must see, and be inspired.

I live in Brasilia and i go very often to the Cathedral.Its architecture is the most impressive attraction, but it is a quiet and peace place. Outside, you'll be able to see four big statues of St. John, St. Matthew, St. Mark and St. Luke. Inside the church, you will see some pieces of art, like a Michelangelo's Pieta replica, the cross used in the first mass of Brasilia, during its construction, some tiles painted by Athos Bulcao and three bronze angels, hanging from the ceiling.Make sure to visit the cathedral away from mass hours, if you want to go inside and take pictures. It's not allowed during masses.

Beautiful cathedral. There's a store inside for souvenir purchases. It is free of charge; however, there are a few merchants at the entrance...
