Catedral de Pedra (Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora de Lourdes)
Catedral de Pedra
An English Gothic-style basalt church. Its 65-meter bell tower is the most striking landmark in Canela.
Construction of the church began in 1953. It is built from local basalt. The bell tower holds 12 bronze bells, and stained-glass windows and a wooden ceiling depict Bible stories. The front square is the center of Canela town, surrounded by restaurants and craft shops. During the Christmas season, light shows are projected onto the façade. Admission is free. Please keep quiet during Mass.
