The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary is a brick Catholic church in the centre of Asmara, Eritrea, built in 1923 to a design by Oreste Scanavini. Its Romanesque Revival style is of the large Lombard variety, and it forms part of the Asmara UNESCO World Heritage Site. Though locally called "The Cathedral," it was the principal church of an apostolic vicariate rather than a diocesan seat, and it is now a parish church of the Eritrean Catholic Archeparchy of Asmara.
