Igreja Matriz de São Domingos, Catholic church in Torres, Brazil
The stone church stands at Praça Mal. Floriano Peixoto, featuring a central tower added in 1898 and traditional architectural elements from the 19th century.
The construction of Igreja Matriz de São Domingos began in 1819 with the help of 30 Guarani Indian soldiers and opened its doors in October 1824.
The church maintains its position as the religious center of Torres, where residents gather each August 8 to honor Saint Dominic through traditional celebrations.
The building underwent extensive restoration work completed in April 2017, ensuring its preservation as a protected heritage site by Rio Grande do Sul state.
The church name combines Saint Dominic with Torres, referring to the three basalt rock formations that characterize the coastal landscape of the region.
