About Catedral Nossa Senhora da Conceição
The Catedral Nossa Senhora da Conceição is the main church of the Diocese of Ponta de Pedras and occupies Praça Paulo VI. The parish originated in the 18th century, while the dedication of the current church took place in 1987. On the exterior, note the curved façade, the sequence of openings, and the bell tower that stands above the roof. These elements set the building apart from the colonial churches found in other localities of Marajó. The cathedral maintains religious activities and participates in the tradition of devotion to the Immaculate Conception in the municipality. Visiting the interior depends on the parish's opening and must respect celebrations and moments of prayer. Confirm access before you go and be discreet when photographing.
