Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos, Baroque church in Cidade Alta district, Natal, Brazil.

The church exhibits an elliptical floor plan with two intersecting volumes, featuring curved frontispieces and bell towers against white walls.

The Brotherhood of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos received construction permission in 1753 and completed the church between 1822 and 1823.

This religious building served as a gathering place for the Black community during colonial times, displaying images of saints associated with African devotion.

Located near Ribeira neighborhood, the church maintains regular religious services and stands as the second oldest Catholic temple in Natal.

The architectural design combines two ellipses of different sizes, with the larger one housing the main nave and the smaller containing the main chapel.
