Nuestra Señora del Rosario y San Benito de Palermo, Paysandú, Minor basilica in downtown Paysandú, Uruguay
The Renaissance Revival basilica features classical elements in its design, including symmetrical proportions and traditional architectural details throughout the structure.
The original parish church, established in 1805, endured damage during the 1864 siege of Paysandú and underwent reconstruction before receiving minor basilica status in 1949.
The basilica houses religious artifacts and hosts regular Catholic ceremonies while serving as a central gathering point for the faithful in northwestern Uruguay.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors at Montecaseros Street between 18 de Julio and Florida in central Paysandú.
A Walcker organ, installed in 1906, remains a distinguished musical instrument within the basilica, contributing to religious services and performances.
