Santana Cathedral, Cathedral in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Santana Cathedral features a conical shape with an internal diameter of 96 meters and rises to a height of 75 meters in Rio de Janeiro.
Construction of the cathedral began in the late 1960s under architect Edgar Fonseca, replacing several earlier churches that served as cathedrals since 1676.
The cathedral incorporates design elements from Mayan pyramids, featuring tilting walls with square windows arranged in honeycomb patterns and four towering stained glass windows.
The cathedral accommodates 20,000 people and includes a museum in the basement, making it a central location for religious services and community gatherings.
The cathedral's bronze doors display religious motifs, while a crucifix-shaped skylight connects the four points of the structure at the flat ceiling.
