Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black People
Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black People, Colonial Catholic church in Campina, Brazil.
The religious structure incorporates two stone towers with rectangular belfries, featuring circular openings and a blue limestone facade against plain masonry walls.
The Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary initiated construction in 1709, taking almost a century to complete under master craftsman Caetano Jose da Costa.
The church represents a central gathering place for African and Afro-Brazilian religious practices, combining Catholic traditions with local spiritual elements.
The building maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with local vendors selling traditional candles near the entrance for religious ceremonies.
The structure contains hidden gilded walls, discovered during 1960s renovations, revealing gold contributions from enslaved miners throughout its construction period.
