Tourism in Ouro Preto, a historic city that is part of the rich cultural legacy of Minas Gerais - Travel guide information of Ouro Preto, Brazil.
 

Ouro Preto - Minas Gerais

99 kilometres from Belo Horizonte.

It is also a historic city that is part of the rich cultural legacy of Minas Gerais.

This city used to be an antique Villa Rica (rich location), that was created in 1698 thanks to the discovery of gold in its land.

In this sense, the origins of this city lies in the detection of great quantities of gold during The XVII and XVIII Centuries. This finding generated a crucial moment in the history of Brazil: La Inconfidencia Mineira.

Ouro Preto contains ancient houses, churches and palaces; the most of them were constructed in the gold époque.

This city also keeps the title of Cultural Human Patrimony that was invested by UNESCO.
