Igreja Matriz do Topo / Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário

Church built in the 16th century, being later enlarged and restored in the 18th century. This reconstruction was necessary due to the devastation the earthquake called God warrant did in this temple. In the majestic facade stands out the gate, three large Windows and two glasses, not forgetting the Bell Tower, atypical in the architecture of the island. In the interior, especially the gilt and the various screens.
