Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, Catholic church in Floresta, Brazil
The Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário occupies 300 square meters and features a main altar displaying religious sculptures of Nossa Senhora do Rosário and São Benedito.
The construction of the church began in 1776 when local farmers donated land for its establishment, and the inauguration ceremony took place on July 22, 1792.
The formation of the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament in 1862 marked a significant step in the religious development of the Floresta community.
The church belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Floresta and maintains regular religious services for the local community at its location in Pernambuco state.
The structure originated as an oratory at Fazenda Grande, receiving its first land donation from a local couple who obtained permission to hold masses in their private chapel.
