Catedral Militar Rainha da Paz, Catholic cathedral in Brasília, Brazil
The Catedral Militar Reina de Paz features a triangular structure resembling a tent, incorporating both religious elements and military architectural characteristics into its design.
Pope John Paul II laid the first stone of the cathedral in 1991, and the construction was completed in 1994 under the direction of architect Oscar Niemeyer.
The cathedral functions as the central religious institution for Brazilian military personnel and their families, offering regular services and ceremonies throughout the year.
Located between N1 and S1 avenues on the Monumental Axis near the Urban Military Sector, the cathedral maintains regular visiting hours for both military members and civilians.
The cathedral combines Oscar Niemeyer's modernist architectural approach with traditional Catholic symbolism, featuring a hyperboloid structure that allows natural light to fill the space.
