Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, Catholic cathedral in Rosario, Argentina.
The church displays a classical facade with French influences, marble columns, and a central dome painted with biblical scenes. The interior spreads beneath the large dome, which fills the main nave with natural light.
The first parish church appeared in 1731 and grew over the decades into the present building. In 1966, the Catholic Church granted it the rank of basilica.
The crypt houses the Virgin's Chamber, where a statue brought from Cádiz in 1773 stands. Worshippers come to this room to pay their respects to the city's patron saint.
Several services take place daily, including weekday masses at 8:45, 11:45, and 7:30 in the evening (7:30 PM). Weekend celebrations draw larger crowds and add more ceremonies.
A stained glass window shows General Manuel Belgrano and his troops receiving the blessing of the Argentine flag in February 1812. This scene recalls a key moment of the independence movement.
