Cathedral of the Most Holy Rosary
Cathedral of the Most Holy Rosary, Portuguese colonial cathedral in Burrabazar, Kolkata, India
The Cathedral of the Most Holy Rosary features two domed towers, a decorated pediment, and an extended portico with an arched entrance.
Portuguese trader Joseph Barretto funded the construction of this religious building in 1797, transforming it from a simple chapel into a cathedral.
The interior contains fourteen Stations of the Cross sculptures, wooden pews along the aisle, and figures of Madonna and Child behind the altar.
Located on Portuguese Church Street, the cathedral functions as the main church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Calcutta and holds regular religious services.
The area surrounding the cathedral, known as Murgihata, received its name from Portuguese settlers who specialized in poultry farming during colonial times.
