An hour and a half away form capital Belo Horizonte, the cozy town filled with very nice restaurants and handcraft stores in it's colorful colonial streets.
Praca Tiradentes is the center of the town which holds more than 23 well preserved churches, spread across a very small territory.
The city was so important as a gold source, that around 1750 it had a population of 110.000 (mainly slaves), while New York had 50.000
