São João del Rei's historic center preserves a dense collection of 18th-century religious architecture, representing the peak of the Brazilian gold cycle.

These sites showcase the work of prominent colonial artists and the distinct styles of different religious orders, from the ornate interiors of the Third Order of Mount Carmel to the historically significant churches built by local brotherhoods.
