São Paulo Cathedral, also known as Catedral da Sé, is a prominent landmark in São Paulo, Brazil. This stunning example of Neo-Gothic architecture is located at Praça da Sé, the heart of the city. Construction began in 1913 and was completed in 1967, although the cathedral's roots date back to the 16th century when the first modest chapel was built. The cathedral boasts impressive features, including its soaring twin spires, beautiful stained glass windows, and a grand organ with over 12,000 pipes. It is one of the largest churches in Brazil and serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Paulo.
