St. Ann Cathedral, Caicó, Catholic cathedral in Caicó, Brazil

The cathedral features two bell towers, a curvilinear frontispiece, and a central entrance door located in Monseñor Walfredo Gurgel Square.

The construction of St. Ann Cathedral started on July 16, 1748, with Manoel Fernandes Jorge as benefactor and Father Francisco Alves Maia as first vicar.

The building combines Romanesque, Gothic, and colonial architectural elements, reflected in its structure and interior design with chancel, naves, and choir.

The cathedral maintains its function as the episcopal seat of Caicó Diocese and parish church, serving the local religious community throughout the year.

In 1824, Frei Caneca documented his visit to the cathedral, describing it as a small, new church with ornate decorations.
