Seminário da Prainha, Religious educational institution in central Fortaleza, Brazil
The seminary building features neoclassical architecture with large windows, multiple floors, and a central courtyard near Cristo Redentor Square.
Bishop Luis Antonio dos Santos established the Episcopal Seminary of Ceara on October 10, 1864, marking the beginning of formalized religious education in the region.
The seminary houses the Theological Pastoral Institute of Ceara and Catholic Faculty of Fortaleza, training future priests and pastoral agents.
The institution offers courses in Theology, Law, Administration, Accounting Sciences, and Philosophy through its Catholic Faculty program.
A tile panel in the seminary courtyard displays names of notable alumni, including Padre Cicero and Frei Daniel de Samarate.
