The Cathedral Basilica of the Good Lord Jesus[1] (also Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of the Good Lord Jesus or Cuiabá Cathedral; Portuguese: Catedral Metropolitana Basílica Senhor Bom Jesus) is a Catholic church with basilica status, located in the city of Cuiabá,[2] capital of the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil.

[3] Built in 1723,[4] initially with wattle and daub (wood and lianas with mud), the mother church of Cuiabá, dedicated to the Good Lord Jesus (Senhor Bom Jesus [pt; fr]), was rebuilt in rammed earth between 1739 and 1740, while the first bell tower dates from 1769.

[6] With the prevalent idea of modernization in the 1960s, the decision was made to demolish it,[7] which occurred on August 14, 1968, only after several charges of dynamite,[8] an act that was remembered and lamented for several years.

[10] The Cathedral has a large nave on the ground level with a seating capacity of 800 people.

The crypt of the Cathedral is located in the basement below one of the belltowers; it houses the remains of numerous figures of Mato Grosso.
