Vitória
Metropolitan Cathedral
The construction of this sumptuous Cathedral started in 1920 and lasted 50 years to be finished. It resembles a German Cathedral built in Neo Gothic Style. The wide stained glass windows all around it, designed by Formenti (an Italian immigrant), were donated by religious brotherhoods and by the local wealthy families. Its towers are quite impressive for anyone who watches them under the tropical sun of Vitória.
