Visit Recife’s Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos for Historical Hindsight

If you want to go back in time, Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos in Recife will help you show the wonder of this city’s historical district. There are still various old buildings with 18th century architectural design that line up the district. This starts with an old convent followed by nearby old monuments mostly of religious significance.  You can also find several city forts which have been conveniently transformed into museums of different sort.  One of these old relics is a must-see church called the Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos.

This church represents the history and the customs of the inhabitants of the area.  This is a fitting monument for the African slaves who labored during the construction of the Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos in the 18th century.  Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos has seen fierce battles for the emancipation of the blacks. Now it has become a symbol of hope in its resistance during the olden times.  With the struggle came the formation of the brotherhood which has stood the test of time.

The historical structure is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black Men which is the English translation of Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos.  The painting of the Passion with a Black Christ draws attention to anybody who wants to visit the church.  Until just recently, the congregation is composed largely of the local people with African descent. During mass services, the drums are used instead of the organ.  If you want to have a taste of Africa right in Brazil, this is the best place to witness anything that is African. 

The Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos is so deep in history that every wall and pillar symbolizes the struggle the African slaves experienced during the 18th century.  If only to understand better the plight of the black slaves, Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos is worth a look see.  Brazil has its share of historical structures. Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos is definitely one of them.  The church is now considered one of the attractions of Brazil.

The Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Homens Pretos is located at the narrow street of the Rosary or the La Calle do Rosario in the Saint Antonio Quarters. The church is open everyday from 8 in the morning to 12 noon and from 2 in the afternoon until 6 in the evening.
