As a precious reminder of the rich history, culture, and evolution of Rio de Janeiro, a number of military forts enrich the shores and the skyline of the city, as well as dozens of churches and monuments scattered throughout dozens of districts.

The iconic and truly unique Cathedral de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro is a very modern and breathtaking building home to the faith of the Carioca people and the thousands of visitors who find in its magical design, the secret rewards of art and sunlight. Famous for its conical shape and the painted glass art in its windows which go from the floor to the ceiling forming a cross, this gem of the architecture is located in the financial center of the city, where it opened its doors to the world in the 70's. With standing room for 20,000 people, it can be easily coined as one of the largest temples in South America.
