Our Lady of Aparecida Basílica Live Cam

Marvel at the majestic Cathedral Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady Aparecida (Catedral Basílica Santuário Nacional de Nossa Senhora Aparecida), streaming live from the city of Aparecida in São Paulo, Brazil. This distinguished Roman Rite Catholic basilica, designed in the Romanesque Revival style, is dedicated to Our Lady of Aparecida, the country's Patroness. Notably, it stands as the second largest Catholic church in terms of interior space, following St. Peter's Basilica, and attracts pilgrims from across Brazil and around the globe. The historical importance of this site traces back to 1717, when three fishermen discovered a statue of the Virgin Mary in the Paraíba River, a moment that brought them an unexpected abundance of fish. The wooden statue, retrieved by the fishermen, is now permanently displayed in the Basilica. Surrounding the church, visitors will find various facilities including lodging, medical services, parking, and more. This live broadcast is provided by Hotel Santo Graal, located to the east of the basilica, as indicated on the accompanying map.
