St. Ann Cathedral, Ponta Grossa
The St. Ann Cathedral () Also Ponta Grossa Cathedral Is a Catholic temple that is located in the center of Paraná in the city of Ponta Grossa in southern Brazil. The church is the seat of the diocese of Ponta Grossa. On September 15, 1823, Ponta Grossa became a parish after the need arose to build a new chapel to satisfy people who wanted a larger chapel, instead of the old parish tile chapel dedicated to St. Ann created By Don Pedro I, being the ninth parish of Paraná. In 1906 the Italian Nicolas Ferigotti was  hired to modify the church. Ferigotti, presented a project considered daring, because although eclecticism is common at that time, the western churches were mostly built in Greco-Roman style. The building was inaugurated in 1910. On May 10, 1926, the Diocese of Ponta Grossa was created and the temple was elevated to the category of cathedral. It was altered again in 1978 and was re-inaugurated in 2009.
