IGREJA SÃO SEBASTIÃO
São Sebastião Church, with its unusual Byzantine-style dome and tower, is steeped in history
Like the customs building, the São Sebastião church is interesting for its rather unusual history. It was delivered in kit form: pre-built in Europe, dismantled and reassembled in Manaus. Quite ugly, except for a strangely Byzantine-style dome. It has only one tower. There are local legends about the absence of a second tower, as in all Brazilian churches. Depending on the source, the other tower is at the bottom of the Atlantic, with the shipwrecked boat, or was not commissioned, to avoid a Vatican tax.
