10 Churches & Cathedrals in Zona Sul (South Zone) That You Shouldn't Miss

March 6, 2022 Trinity Boughner

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Unless you are looking for a church, you won't notice this wonderful parish. Hidden gem in the midst of the lively Copacabana neighborhood. The church has 2 wonderful side chapels, one has adoration. Beautiful and peaceful place to stop by and pray for a bit and attend mass. They have daily mass and offer Sunday mass in English at 11:30am.
