The Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese: Catedral Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro or Catedral de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro), built between 1964 and 1979, is dedicated to Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of Rio de Janeiro. With a standing-room capacity of 20,000 people, its 106 metres internal diameter and its 96 metres high outstand because of its conical structure. The main door is composed of 48 bronze plaques with bas-reliefs that cover topics related to faith. The cathedral’s beauty lies in its interior, where four vivid color rectilinear stained glass windows soar 64 metres (210 ft) from floor to ceiling over the walls in the four cardinal points, allowing the sunlight to be projected in stunning different colors, depending on time of the day, which gives the church a beautiful natural lighting and a mystical atmosphere.
