Catedral de São Sebastião
San Sebastian Cathedral was an old dream of perpetual vicar of Presidente Prudente, Father Jose Maria Martinez Sarrion. So in 1927 he decided to create a commission to leave the field in an attempt to raise funds, made up of members of prominent families at the time: Armelin, Tenorio de Barros, Peretti, Toledo, Franco de Godoy and others. The Church of the plant was made by Francisco Oroz, construction directed and performed by Francisco Grotto and idealized by Luiz Mesquita. The curious thing occurs in the plant design, cross-shaped. The works began two years after the commission formed. Completed in 1949, the church became pride of the city and reference point. The project also had the goal of becoming the seat of the diocese, which occurred in 1961.
After 25 years of waiting, the public space was revitalized by the government and handed over to the public in 2015.
