Catedral Metropolitana Ortodoxa, Orthodox cathedral in Paraíso district, São Paulo, Brazil
The Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral features a Neo-Byzantine architectural design with an ornate marble iconostasis and detailed stained glass windows throughout the structure.
The construction began in 1942 under Paul Taufick Camasmie's supervision, drawing inspiration from Hagia Sophia, and reached completion during São Paulo's 400th-anniversary celebrations in 1954.
The cathedral functions as the principal religious center for Brazilian Orthodox Christians, particularly serving the Lebanese immigrant community that settled in São Paulo.
Located at 1515 Vergueiro Street in Vila Mariana, the cathedral maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements and religious artifacts.
Egyptian King Farouk personally selected artist Joseph Trabulsi to create the decorative elements that adorn the cathedral's interior spaces.
