Metropolitan Cathedral-San Sebastian

Metropolitan Cathedral-San Sebastian

Designed by Edgar Oliveira da Fonseca and inaugurated in 1976, this cathedral is an excellent and hotly disputed example of brutalist architecture.
The cathedral's design was loosely based on a Mayan temple.
A multitude of openings bounce indirect sunlight off raw concrete to create a powerful effect that dynamically changes throughout the day.
