Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário (São Vicente)

🏘️ São Vicente · São Vicente · Vargem

Built in the seventeenth century by the Caldeira family beside an older chapel, it became in 1960 the seat of the new parish of Rosário. Devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary spread widely in the Region in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and this church is one of its great examples. The front is Mannerist in structure; the longitudinal plan holds three naves divided by round arches. Inside, the ceiling carries a rendering of Our Lady of the Rosary and the altarpiece, from the late eighteenth century, marks the passage from Rococo to Neoclassical.
