Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, Caieiras, Gothic Revival church building in Caieiras, Brazil.

The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary is a Neo-Gothic church rising 60 metres on the heights of the Serra da Cantareira in Caieiras. Its walls, stained-glass windows and ceiling are decorated with religious figures and patterns in blue, red and gold. It stands within the complex of the Heralds of the Gospel, beside their seminary and formation house.

Construction began in October 2006 as a modern religious building project for the region. In 2012, Pope Benedict XVI recognized it by conferring the title of minor basilica, marking an important milestone in its development.

The basilica is run by the Heralds of the Evangelho, whose founder, Mons. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, oversaw its building and decoration. Sunday ceremonies are accompanied by Gregorian chant, and the adjoining seminary houses students from several countries who study philosophy, theology and languages such as Hebrew and Greek.

The building is located in the Parque Santa Ines neighborhood and can be reached by public transportation, making it accessible to visitors. Those planning a visit should keep in mind that this is an active place of worship where respectful conduct is expected.

The Gothic design was intentionally modeled after famous medieval European cathedrals to replicate their visual language and architectural approach. This choice makes it a modern interpretation of a historical style that arrived in an unexpected location on the South American continent.
