Church of Our Lady of the Rosary
Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, Baroque church in Ouro Preto, Brazil
The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary features an oval-shaped interior with six side altars and an elliptical floor plan within stone walls.
The Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary of Black Men established this church in 1715, with construction completed between 1822 and 1823.
The church interior displays statues of saints connected to African-Brazilian devotion, including Saint Benedict and Saint Iphigenia, patron saint of enslaved people.
The church welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 1:00 PM and 4:45 PM, with Sunday mass celebrated at 4:00 PM, without entrance fees.
The building structure combines multiple overlapping circles in its design, creating an architectural composition that differs from traditional colonial churches.
