Sao Paulo

My first view of Brazil. I had a few hours in Sao Paolo before I took a bus to a smaller place in the south.

Sé Square - Sao Paulo downtonw
The Cathedral is the largest church in the city of São Paulo : 111 metres long, 46 metres wide, with the two flanking towers reaching a height of 92 metres. The Cathedral is a Latin cross church with a five-aisled nave and a dome that reaches 30 metres over the crossing. Although the building in general is Neo-Gothic, the dome is inspired by the Renaissance dome of the Cathedral of Florence. It is located in the Praça da Sé, or "Cathedral Square".
The Cathedral has a total capacity for 8,000 people. More than 800 tons of rare marble were used in its completion. The inner capitals are decorated with sculpted Brazilian produce as coffee branches, pineapples, and native animals such as tatus --armadillos.
