The cathedral was built on the site where the first chapel was erected, between the streets Conde do Pinhal and Trece de Mayo, in the central area of São Carlos.

It included stained glass windows by Lorenz Heilmair, altars in Carrara marble and the Way of the Cross executed by local artist Almira Ragonesi Bruno. The image of Saint Charles Borromeo with his head and hands carved in wood, which dates from the founding of the city, stands in the church.
