The Our Lady of Grace Cathedral (Portuguese: Catedral Nossa Senhora das Graças) also called Catedral Nossa Senhora de Belém. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Belém do Pará and is located in the old quarter of the city in Belém in Brazil.[2] The cathedral is dedicated to Our Lady of Grace, and dates to the earliest settlement of the Portuguese in Belém. The first chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Grace was a temporary structure inside the Presépio Fort; it was moved to a large square in front of the fort. The current structure, the third, was built in the Baroque style, but was later modified with numerous Neoclassical architecture elements by the architect João Landi (Giuseppe Antonio Landi). The cathedral was listed as a historic structure by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute in 1940.[3][4][5][1]
