Our Lady of the Rosary Cathedral, Itabira

The parish of Our Lady of the Rosary of Itabira of the Mato Dentro was created on April 6, 1826. The church, known as Matriz do Rosário, was built in the first half of the 19th century. In 1965, with the creation of the Diocese of Itabira, the church of the Rosary became a cathedral. On November 9, 1970, after a long period of rain, one of the cathedral's side walls collapsed and one of the towers was badly damaged. The old cathedral was demolished and the current cathedral was built in the same place. Construction began in 1976 and was completed in 1985.
