Igreja da Candelaria
Praça Pio X, Centro, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilTel: +55 21 22332324
With its imposing facade and baroque style, Nossa Senhora da Candelaria in Praca Pio X is impossible to ignore. It took almost ninety years to build and was finally completed in 1898, and it was Rio's largest church until the construction of the Cathedral. Just as impressive, the interior is a colourful mixture of marble sculpted columns, altars and statues. Also, the dome features impressive paintings by Joao Zeferino da Costa depicting the Christian virtues.
