Santa Rosa de Lima RC Church (Arima)

Santa Rosa de Lima RC Church in Arima is one of Trinidad’s oldest Catholic parishes and a focal point of indigenous and Spanish heritage. The modest, well-kept church anchors the Santa Rosa First Peoples community and hosts the annual Santa Rosa Festival each August, blending faith, history, and local culture. Visitors find a serene interior with traditional devotional art, a welcoming parish atmosphere, and proximity to Arima’s market streets. It’s a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in the island’s colonial-era roots and living First Peoples traditions rather than grand architecture.
