This Catholic church was built around 1547, in Old Goa, State of Goa, India. It is believed that this chapel was built under the order of Afonso de Albuquerque after the battle that led to Goa being re-captured by the Portuguese army. Thus, this is considered the first church of Goa and in 1986, Church of Our Lady of the Rosary became the part of the collection belonging to the World Heritage Site.

It is known to be one of the earliest structures of renaissance style in India and till today, due to its distance from the city center, the exterior & interior architecture remains untouched making it the most Portuguese of all the Goan churches.

This church is located on the Holy Hill (Monte Santo) of Old Goa. It is very close to the Basilica of Bom Jesus. The closest railway station to the church is the Vasco Da Gama railway station. The church is open to visitors all days of the week and 365 days of the year from 09:00 am to 05:30 pm.
