Church of Saint Savior of the World
Olinda, Brazil
Igreja da Sé - Church of Sé
Church of Sé
Official name: Church of Saint Savior of the World.
Built in 1535. It was turned into a Protestant temple during the Dutch period.
Located in the Alto da Sé, the highest place in Olinda. It was from where today is the backyard of this church that Duarte Coelho, enchanted with the beautiness of his viewing, would have said the phrase which gave name to the city: "Oh, linda situação para construir uma vila" This backyard is open for visitation, and is one of the best places to take photos in Olinda.
Since 1676, this has been the cathedral of Olinda and Recife (hence the name, Sé, in Portuguese).
Olinda declared in 1982 a Historical and Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by the UNESCO
