Introduction
Rio de Janeiro Cathedral is a church that differs from the traditional concept of Rio de Janeiro. Unlike the old and elegant churches in Europe, the entire church can hardly find any elements the belong to the church. It is a modern building with a reinforced concrete structure. There is a cross at the top of the tower. It is this simple cross that seems to confirm the identity of the church.

I think the exterior of this church looks more like a South American pyramid. The scale is still quite large. After entering the interior, the scene displayed by the small windows is quite shocking.
I think the most exciting thing about this church lies in its interior. There are many small lattices with stained glass inside. The combined effect is very psychedelic and very beautiful.
This building doesn't look like a church from the outside, it's just like a big futuristic building. It's not the model of a traditional church. It's also pretty inside, and you can feel an atmosphere.
The exterior of this church looks like a residential area with a very peculiar architecture. It is basically an exterior built with cement. A closer look reveals that it is quite old, but it still feels quite interesting.
The exterior of this church looks very complicated, like small windows one by one, and it has a shape like a cone. The exterior looks very simple, but the inside is quite beautiful.
