Church of Our Lady of the Rosary
Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, Catholic church in Vitoria, Brazil
The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary displays baroque architecture with Portuguese elements, featuring four altars and a bell tower in central Vitoria.
Construction of this religious building began in 1765 through the efforts of the Afro-Brazilian brotherhood and took two years to complete using local labor.
The interior houses statues of Ethiopian saints Elesbaan and Ephigenia, reflecting the religious practices of Afro-Brazilian communities during colonial times.
Visitors reach the church by climbing stone steps, and can examine religious artifacts and vestments in the small museum section.
The adjacent Casa de Leilão auction house operated to fund the liberation of enslaved people, though the structure remains unused on the property.
