How much do you know about this incredible city? 

 The city of Ouro Preto, in Minas Gerais, is well known for its colonial architecture. It was the first Brazilian city to be considered a world heritage site by Unesco in 1980, and is home to a magnificent Baroque architectural ensemble, one of the best preserved in the world.

You will visit the Matriz Nossa Senhora do Pilar, that is decorated with more than 400 kg of gold. The graceful Museu do Oratório has pieces of different styles that celebrate the miners religiosity.

The São Francisco de Assis Church was designed and decorated by Aleijadinho, and is considered his masterpiece. The image of San Francisco is thrilling.

The sculptor Antônio Francisco Lisboa, Aleijadinho, was one of the most important artists of Minas Gerais. Aleijadinho died in 1814, and was honored in 1968 with the creation of the Aleijadinho Museum, dedicated to preserving and exhibiting objects of sacred art.

The Museu da Inconfidência, which guards the memory of one of the most important separatist uprisings of the colonial period, is also another attraction of Ouro Preto.
