Ouro Preto Essentials

Ouro Preto, a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserves the architectural legacy of Brazil's 18th-century gold rush. This collection features the masterpieces of sculptor Aleijadinho, including the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi and the historic Praça Tiradentes. Visitors can explore the depths of the Mina du Veloso, view extensive mineral collections at the School of Mines, and visit the Casa da Ópera, the oldest functioning theater in the Americas. These landmarks trace the city's evolution from a mining hub to the center of the Inconfidência Mineira independence movement.
