Church of Nossa Senhora Da Candelaria
Located in downtown Rio de Janeiro, this church was built on top of a chapel that allegedly was created by a sailor that had survived a shipwreck. The original chapel was made around 1650. Church of Nossa Senhora Da Candelaria was built around the 18th century.

It is one of the most famous church's in Rio and is very popular for weddings (apparently you need years of reservations). Inside the church it is a mixture between the early baroque and late renaissance style.
