This church is unique in Uruguay as it is perhaps the only temple built in Neo-Mudéjar style in all the country; it also has a brick tower. Held by the Dominicans, it is dedicated to their patron saint Dominic and also to Our Lady of the Rosary.[2] It was consecrated on 6 January 1947.[3]
The parish was established on 18 May 1958.[1]
