Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Assumption, Mariana
Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Assumption, Mariana, Catholic cathedral basilica in Mariana, Brazil
The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Assumption features Portuguese colonial architecture with intricate woodwork and religious artworks throughout its interior spaces.
The construction of this religious building started in 1711 following Governor Antonio de Albuquerque's declaration of the mining settlement as a town.
The cathedral houses an Arp Schnitger organ from 1753, representing the musical traditions and craftsmanship of the colonial period in Brazil.
Located at Rua Direita 1 in Mariana, the cathedral opens daily for visitors and maintains regular religious services throughout the week.
The building underwent a significant transformation in 1798 when its exterior walls were reconstructed using stone and lime to strengthen the structure.
