Presbyterian Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro

The Presbyterian Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese: Catedral Presbiteriana do Rio de Janeiro) is a historic congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil.

Ashbel Green Simonton established the church on January 12, 1862.

His influence and service was recognized through the name of a middle school and a square in Rio.

Matthias Gomes de Santos remade the project of constructing a new building.

He invited the architect Ascanio Viana who redesigned the building in a Neo-Gothic style.
