Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes, Gothic Revival church in Canela, Brazil
The stone structure reaches 65 meters high and includes a tower with 12 bronze bells manufactured by Italian foundry Giacomo Crespi.
The construction of this religious building started in 1953 and reached completion in 1987, adding a new landmark to the Serra Gaúcha region.
Three religious panels by regional artist Marciano Schmitz depict the Apparition of Our Lady, Allegory of the Angels, and Annunciation scenes.
The church opens Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Sunday, with visiting hours from 8:30 to 11:30 and 13:30 to 17:30.
Uruguayan sculptor Pablo Herrera created the Via Sacra paintings using wood and clay, while Julius Tixe carved the Last Supper altar.

Brazilian architectural heritage reflects centuries of history, from colonial fortifications to contemporary structures. In São Paulo, the Flag Monument pays tribute to colonial expeditions, while in Belém, the Peace Theater recalls the prosperity of the rubber era. In Curitiba, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum showcases modern Brazilian architecture, and in Rio de Janeiro, the National Library holds over 9 million works in a neoclassical building. This collection brings together diverse sites that tell the story of the country’s development: military fortresses like São José de Macapá from the 18th century, cultural institutions like the Museum of Tomorrow focused on environmental issues, and managed natural spaces such as the Curitiba Botanical Garden. These sites offer an exploration of Brazil's history, architecture, and culture.
