Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora do Rosário, Catholic church in Rio Pardo, Brazil.

Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora do Rosário is a Catholic church in Rio Pardo featuring late Baroque architectural design. The building has two towers, a central altar space, and six original decorated retables inside that form a complete religious ensemble.

Construction began in 1791 following designs by Francisco João Roscio and replaced an earlier chapel from 1779 that had fallen into disrepair. This new building was erected as a response to the decay of the older religious structure in the region.

The interior paintings were first entrusted to Pelegrino Castiglioni and redone in 1885 by Vicente Prato and Serafino Corso. The altars hold images of the Senhor Morto, Nossa Senhora do Rosário with a sculpted shield, and Nossa Senhora das Dores with carvings of the Passion, from the chalice to the veil. The authorship of several images and carvings remains unidentified.

The church faces Praça Protásio Antônio Alves in the centre of Rio Pardo. It was closed for years in the late 20th century and restored in the early 21st, so check opening times before travelling. The single bell tower and the fronton described in 1847 as still missing show which parts were finished later.

The building contains the mausoleum of Baron of Triunfo, General Andrade Neves, a significant 19th-century military figure. His presence inside this space connects the sacred function of the place with local military history.
