The Cathedral of Brasília, also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady Aparecida, is an iconic architectural marvel located in Brasília, Brazil. Designed by the renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, the cathedral is celebrated for its modernist design and unique structure. Completed in 1970, the cathedral features 16 hyperboloid columns, which create a stunning crown-like shape that soars towards the sky. The columns are connected by stained glass panels designed by Marianne Peretti, allowing natural light to illuminate the interior in a kaleidoscope of colors.
