You can spot the iconic golden dome of this major architectural landmark from quite a distance. Sao Paulo's Orthodox Cathedral, which is dedicated to the city's namesake Saint Paul, is the only cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch in Brazil and one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world. The famous Hagia Sophia of Istanbul inspired the design. Construction of this Byzantine church began in the 1940s under the supervision of Paul Taufick Camasmie. In later years, several Russian artists participated in its decoration. When compared to other Eastern Orthodox churches, one of the distinctive architectural characteristics of this building, is that the iconostasis (a wall of icons and religious paintings separating the main body of the church from the altar) is made of marble, rather than wood. Stay for mass and hear the local choir sing ancient Gregorian chants. For Orthodox Cathedral and beyond, use our Sao Paulo holiday builder to get the most from your Sao Paulo vacation.

Very good this church. But could improve even more. Parking lot with salty and when it rains is a terror, because there is no coverage in the passage to the Church. Speak with freedom of one who was baptized there, although it was another time, more authentic. Still recommend this church, with the caveat to be good negotiators.View original
