Cathedral

From Praça XV Novembro, we only had to cross one street to reach the square with the Catedral Metropolitana. This cathedral is also named Igreja da Matriz. The cathedral is constructed on one of the historical sites of Florianópolis. Prior to the discovery of the island by Europeans, the island was populated by Indians of the Carijós tribe; they named the island ‘Meiempipe’. The Venetian explorer Sebastião Caboto baptized the island into Santa Catarina; he appeared to be inspired upon Saint Catarina or eventually his own wife, Catarina Medrano. In 1673, the first settlement was erected on the island. In 1679, Francisco Dias Velho received the rights of this region, and he ordered to construct a church, dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Desterro. However, there are few documents that describe the construction of the first church at Praça XV de November, in 1651. Nevertheless, the church mentioned first is generally considered as the first God house, and the cathedral was constructed next to this church. On July 17, 1748, a decree was issued by Governor Bigadeiro José da Silva Paes, which marked the start of the construction of a new church. However, only in 1753, the foundation stone was laid. Twenty years later, the church was inaugurated, and received her German clock in 1897. The famous wooden statue ‘Fuga para o Egito (Escape to Egypt)’ was placed in 1902. The church gained the title of ‘cathedral’ in 1908. Renovation took place in 1922, when a linker was constructed between the two towers; herein, the carillon was placed.
