Rio de Janeiro Cathedral
Located at the city’s
financial center, the cathedral is already part of the cultural itinerary of the city.
The Lapa Arcs
and the magnificent
Petrobras
building surround it. With a unique architectural design (the cathedral is shaped like a pyramid), the cathedral captures its visitor’s attention with its energy and interior magnitude.
The altar is located at the center of the pyramid’s base and is surrounded by seats and lateral entrances.

Lapa Arcs
Located in the
Largo da Carioca Square, once the center of Rio's turn of the century nightlife the
Arcos da Carioca
arcs hold their place in history as the most monumental work undertaken in colonial Rio.
Originally built as an aqueduct to supply the city with water, today they carry another outstanding attraction: the scenic tram lines linking the
Carioca Station
downtown to the picturesque
Santa Teresa District.
