Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora das Dores

The Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora das Dores features a neoclassical architectural design with white walls and symmetrical twin towers rising above the main entrance.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1865 and reached completion in 1871, becoming the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Piauí in 1903 under Pope Leo XIII.

The cathedral serves as the primary venue for religious ceremonies in Teresina, including the annual Procession of Bom Jesus dos Passos, a major regional Catholic tradition.

Located in Praça Saraiva square, the cathedral holds daily masses and welcomes visitors throughout the day, with increased attendance during Sunday services and religious festivals.

The cathedral stands as the first major religious structure built in Teresina after the city's establishment in 1852 as Brazil's first planned municipality.
