Igreja Nossa Senhora do Rosário, Catholic church in central Porto Alegre, Brazil
The church features a central nave decorated with a painting depicting the Battle of Lepanto and houses the original statue of Our Lady of the Rosary.
The original church was established in 1817, but the current structure was inaugurated in 1956 after the demolition of the historic building in 1951.
The Rosary Brotherhood, composed primarily of slaves and freed Black individuals, founded the original church as part of their religious practices and community organization.
The church remains a central point for religious ceremonies in Porto Alegre and initiates the annual procession of Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes.
The church contains the remains of Father Landell de Moura, a Brazilian priest and inventor who served as parish priest from 1915 to 1928.
