One of a kind, the building is made entirely of wood! In fact, this yellow-and-blue Catholic cathedral is the largest wooden religious building in South America, with towers reaching 44 meters in height. Built at the end of the 19th century on the ruins of a former theater, it has undergone numerous restorations, both inside and out, its wooden structure making it extremely fragile and particularly prone to termite attack.

Très bel édifice dont la taille est exceptionnelle pour une construction en bois. La décoration est originale à l'extérieur mais surtout à l'intérieur, grâce aux différentes essences de bois utilisées.
Pour entrer, il est exigé d'avoir des vêtements suffisamment longs (il y a un gardien), mais les portes étant ouvertes, on peut déjà avoir une bonne vue de l'intérieur.

I have been there early in the morning At the end of the 6 30 messes. Inside the wood work is amazing and huge. It is probably the biggest wooden church in the world. I think there is a big like in Sweden.
