Catedral de Nossa Senhora da Penha da França de Crato, Catholic cathedral in Crato, Brazil.
The Cathedral of Nossa Senhora da Penha da França stands as a religious center in downtown Crato with traditional colonial Brazilian architecture and white exterior walls.
The cathedral construction began in 1745 by friars Carlos Maria de Ferrara and Fidelis de Sigmaringa, with walls made of rammed earth and packed dirt floors.
The cathedral serves as the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Crato, hosting major religious ceremonies and bringing together the Catholic community of the region.
Regular masses occur daily in the cathedral, with special celebrations during religious festivals and additional services on Sundays and holy days.
In 1817, Father José Martiniano de Alencar delivered what several historians consider the first declaration of independence from Portugal at this location.
