The St. Ann Cathedral[1] (also Ponta Grossa Cathedral; Portuguese: Catedral Sant’Ana)[2] is a Catholic church located in the center of Paraná in the city of Ponta Grossa in southern Brazil.
On September 15, 1823,[4] Ponta Grossa became a parish, after which the need arose to build a new, larger chapel to serve the population in place of the old tiled roof chapel dedicated to St. Ann built by Dom Pedro I, the ninth parish of Paraná.
Ferigotti presented a project considered daring, because although eclecticism was common at that time, western churches were predominantly built in Greco-Roman style.
[6] On May 10, 1926, the Diocese of Ponta Grossa was created and the church was elevated to the category of cathedral.
