Catedral Sao Joao Batista, an elegant example of neo-Gothic architecture, stands out in the heart of Foz do Iguacu. Built between 1928 and 1932, its design, with peaked arches and delicately rendered towers, might seem more at home in Medieval France than the rainforests of Brazil. Overlooking Getúlio Vargas Square, the cathedral’s intricate stonework and soaring spires create a striking contrast against the modern urban landscape. Today, visitors can explore the interior, admire the detailed craftsmanship, and experience a moment of tranquility within its hallowed walls.
