Here is a beautiful cathedral that locates in Brazil. I googled some more photos - it's amazing inside and outdoor.

The São Paulo See Metropolitan Cathedral -"See" and "cathedra" mean "seat" and therefore the ecclesiastical authority of a bishop or archbishop - is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Paulo, Brazil. As of 2013 the Metropolitan Archbishop of the archdiocese was Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer. Its construction, in Neo-Gothic style, began in 1913 and ended four decades later. It was ready for its dedication on the 400th anniversary of the foundation of the then humble villa of São Paulo by Chief or Cacique Tibiriçá and the Jesuit priests Manuel da Nóbrega and José de Anchieta. Despite having a Renaissance-styled dome, the São Paulo Metropolitan Cathedral is considered by some to be the 4th largest neo-gothic cathedral in the world.

Congonhas is a historical Brazilian city located in the state of Minas Gerais. It is situated 90 kilometres south from Belo Horizonte, the capital of state of Minas Gerais.
The city is notable for its basilica - the Santuário do Bom Jesus do Matosinhos - and associated soapstone sculptures which were commissioned by Portuguese adventurer, Feliciano Mendes in the 18th century. It was created by Aleijadinho, one of the best artists in the baroque style in the world. The twelve sculptures of old testament prophets around the terrace are considered amongst his finest work.
In 1985 UNESCO granted the Sanctuary the title of a World Heritage Site.

Arraial do Tijuco (as Diamantina was first called) was built during the colonial era in the early 18th century. As its name suggests, Diamantina was a center of diamond mining in the 18th and 19th centuries. A well-preserved example of Brazilian Baroque architecture, Diamantina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It's so nice to make a post related to sea.We live in quite north country without access to any sea, so I especially like cards related to sun, sea, summer.

Actually I have similar concha souvenirs from Crimea. Honestly, my souvenirs have some losses, as my hamsters tried to eat it :)

Here are beautiful Brazilian stamps:
