Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian

Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian is dedicated to Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of Rio De Janerio. It is a seat of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro. Reflecting the Mayan architectural style of pyramids, the structure was designed by Edgar Fonseca in 1964. The internal diameter of the church is 315 feet (96 meters) with a 347 feet (106 meters) external diameter. The cathedral rises to a staggering height of 246 feet (75 meters) with four rectilinear stained-glass windows of 210 feet (64 meters) soaring from the floor to the ceiling. The church still conducts regular masses and weddings and is open to tourist visits everyday from 7a to 5p.
