Padre Faria Chapel, Colonial chapel in Ouro Preto, Brazil
The Padre Faria Chapel features a modest exterior facade with a central door, upper windows, and a separate bell tower attached to the structure.
Built in the early 1700s by bandeirante João de Faria Fialho, the chapel changed its dedication multiple times before becoming Nossa Senhora do Rosário in 1740.
The interior decoration represents the Johannine Baroque period with gilded carvings and side panels depicting important scenes from Mary's life.
Located at coordinates 20°23'17.2"S and 43°29'29.0"W, the chapel maintains its religious function while allowing visits during specific hours.
The chapel's main altar, described by historian Diogo de Vasconcelos, displays intricate gold leaf work with carved angels among the decorative elements.
