Church of Our Lady of the Rosary
Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, Portuguese colonial church in Tiradentes, Brazil.
The stone walls of the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary stand tall on the hillside, featuring two bell towers and Baroque architectural elements.
The church construction began in the 18th century through the efforts of freed black slaves, yet the building remained incomplete due to resource limitations.
The church structure represents the determination of the Afro-Brazilian community who gathered funds and provided labor during their free time for its construction.
The ruins remain open for visitors to explore the foundation, lateral extensions, and high stone walls that showcase Portuguese colonial architectural design.
Special lighting installations by the Monumenta program illuminate the stone walls at night, creating shadows that outline the intended complete structure.
