The tiny island of Fiscal is famous for its extraordinary castle. If you believe numerous reviews, many who see this palace for the first time associate it with fairy tales about princesses and valiant knights. No one would have thought that the Brazilian customs service was located within the walls of this beautiful castle. More than half a million travelers make the trip to Fiscal every year just to admire the castle's mesmerizing architecture. In addition to the customs office itself, within the castle walls there is a museum dedicated to the history of the navy. The main tower of the castle is decorated with an illuminated clock, which has become the main landmark for sailors arriving in Guanabara Bay.

During the colonial period, this landmark of Brazil was the largest Catholic church in the country. The beautiful architecture of the church still surprises with its beauty today. In fact, several styles were involved in the design of the facade - from baroque to neoclassical. The very history of the emergence of the temple is connected with the legend of the ship Candelaria, which in 1609 was caught in a severe storm. During the disaster, the sailors of the ship vowed to build a chapel if the Almighty spared their lives. The storm soon subsided, and the rescued sailors fulfilled their promise and erected a wooden chapel. Later in the 18th century, the beautiful stone church of Candelaria was erected on the site of the dilapidated chapel.

One striking example is the Church of St. Sebastian, located in the heart of the city. Seeing this building for the first time, perhaps not a single tourist will recognize it as a cathedral - its architecture is so uncharacteristic. The cathedral was built in a modernist style in honor of the city's patron saint by an architect inspired by the ancient Mayan pyramids. The structure has a large area - 106 meters in diameter, an impressive height - almost 100 meters, and can accommodate up to 2 thousand worshipers at a time. The interior decoration is also impressive: high mosaic windows let in sunlight, magically colored in different colors of the mosaic itself.
