Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, Catholic church in Floresta, Brazil
Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário is a Catholic church in central Floresta built by local farmers. The building has a main altar with religious sculptures and continues to serve as a place for religious services.
Construction started in 1776 after local farmers donated land, and the building was inaugurated in 1792. It developed from a private chapel into an important place of community worship.
The church is dedicated to Mary and Saint Benedict, as shown by the sculptures at the main altar. This devotion shapes the religious life of the local community.
