Av. Eduardo Ribeiro, Manaus’ main thoroughfare leads from the waterfront through downtown Manaus en route to the most famous building in the city, the ornate salmoncolored,Teatro Amazonas, the Opera House. It’s about a dozen blocks away. As you set out, take a few minutes to admire the city’s cathedral in Praça de Matriz. Catedral da N.S. da Conceião (Immaculate Conception) was built by Carmelite missionaries in 1695 but was destroyed by a fire in 1850.
It was rebuilt in simple Neoclassical style. The interior is a colorful and peaceful spot for a respite on a hot day. Locals refer to it as Igreja Matriz (Matriz Church). Adjacent to the church in an attractive setting is the Relogio Municipal (clock). There are two other noteworthy buildings en route to the Opera House. The Public Library is on Rua Henrique Martins and the Court of Justice on Rua J. Clemente.
