Nouvelle cathédrale de Niterói, Modern cathedral in Niterói, Brazil
The Nova Catedral features parabolic concrete columns and a glass dome that allows natural light to filter through the entire structure.
Construction of this religious landmark concluded in 1970, marking a significant period in Brazilian architectural development through Oscar Niemeyer's modernist vision.
The cathedral incorporates sculptures of three suspended angels by artists Alfredo Ceschiatti and Dante Croce, along with ceramic tiles by Athos Bulcao.
The cathedral remains accessible daily for visitors who can explore the architectural details, religious artifacts, and observe the interplay of light through stained glass.
Four bells from Spain occupy the tower, creating musical compositions that echo through the concrete and glass structure during religious ceremonies.
