Description

A Catedral de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, também conhecida como Catedral Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, inaugurada em 1979, ergue-se no centro histórico da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Em estilo contemporâneo, apresenta formato cônico, com 96 metros de diâmetro interno e capacidade para 20 mil pessoas em pé.

A beleza da edificação, de linhas retas e sóbrias, deve-se aos vitrais coloridos rasgados nas paredes até à cúpula. Seu projeto e execução foram coordenados pelo Monsenhor Ivo Antônio Calliari (1918 - 2005). ___________________________
