Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady Mother of God, Porto Alegre
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady Mother of God, also called the Metropolitan Cathedral of Porto Alegre, is the Catholic metropolitan cathedral of Porto Alegre and the seat of the eponymous archdiocese. The founding of the church is closely related to the origin of the city. With the transfer of the state capital of Viamão to Porto dos Casais, it became clear the need to build a new church, with dimensions corresponding to the new status of the city.
