Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa is a town of green hills on Route PY01. Its treasure is the Chapel of Our Lady of Loreto, a small diocesan museum that replicates the Holy House of Nazareth: it preserves fresco paintings made by Indigenous artists, sculptures and altarpiece fragments, and a wooden ceiling with stars painted in colonial times. Beside the plaza rises the Jesuit bell tower of reddish stone, about 20 meters tall. It's a short but intense stop on the Misiones circuit.
