Why Explore the Bell Museum?

Nestled in the center of Canela, the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, commonly referred to as the Cathedral of Stone, was recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of Brazil in 2010. This striking Gothic-style structure draws visitors with its stunning architecture and houses the Bell Museum. Are you ready for an insightful exploration?

Your adventure starts at the tower of the Cathedral of Stone, where a climb of 100 stairs will lead you to the Bell Museum. Upon entering, you'll encounter the first bell, which resonates with an E flat note and has a weight of 2138 pounds (970 kilos), while the second bell produces an F note and weighs 1499 pounds (680 kilos). 

Within the museum, you will also find the Carrilhão da Independência, consisting of 12 bronze bells that collectively weigh about 4 tons. This ticket grants you insights into the history of the church and its founder, canon João Marchesi. Additionally, numerous altorrelieve sculptures depicting the local traditions and spirituality can be appreciated.

However, your visit doesn't conclude here—you will also experience the breathtaking panoramic views of Canela from the church's side balconies. Be sure to bring your camera for some memorable pictures!
