    Ouro Preto is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Minas Gerais, in the Southeast Region of the country.Ouro Preto is located in one of the
    main areas of the gold cycle. Officially, 800 tons of gold were sent to Portugal in the 18th century, not counting the
    that circulated illegally, nor what remained in the colony, such as the gold used in the ornamentation of churches.
    The municipality became the most populous city in Latin America, with around 40,000 people in 1730 and, decades later, 80
    thousand, but it is good to remember that the area of ​​Villa Rica/Ouro Preto was much larger, encompassing the current Congonhas, Ouro Branco and Itabirito.
    At that time, the population of New York was less than half that number and the population of São Paulo did not exceed
    8 thousand. The Historic City was the first Brazilian site to be considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, a title it received in 1980.
    considered state heritage in 1933 and national monument in 1938.
    Before the arrival of colonizers of European origin in the 16th century, the entire region currently occupied by the state of Minas Gerais was
    inhabited by indigenous peoples who spoke languages ​​of the Macro-Jê linguistic trunk. From the 16th century, Luso-Tupi explorers
    from São Paulo, the so-called bandeirantes, began to travel through the region of the current state of Minas Gerais in search of gold,
    precious stones and indigenous slaves. In the process, they decimated many indigenous nations in the region. At the end of the seventeenth century,
    finally gold was discovered in the region, further increasing the influx of adventurers to the region. Meanwhile, the discoveries
    of gold in the streams continued in the hinterland, raising names such as Antônio Dias de Oliveira, Bartolomeu Bueno de Siqueira, Carlos
    Pedroso da Silveira and people coming from Bahia and Pernambuco and igniting overseas ambitions. The expeditions were now looking for the Rio das
    Old women (mainly the Paulistas, who had accompanied the flag of Fernão Dias Pais and Dom Rodrigo de Castelo-Branco), now the
    Tripuí, where the famous "Ouro Preto" had already been found, marked out by the misty head of Itacolomi peak, which they began to see
    soon crossed Itatiaia.
    Guided by the peaks that bristle the mountains of Ouro Branco, Itatiaia, Ouro Preto, Itacolomi, Cachoeira, Casa Branca, Ribeirão do
    Carmo, etc., the explorers followed, together or separately. Antonil says that, from the Serra do Itatiaia mine, namely Ouro Branco
    (that's what they called gold not yet well formed), eight days away from Ribeiro do Ouro Preto on a moderate way to dinner, from there
    The Paulistas didn't care about having other gold formed and much better income. According to José Rebelo Perdigão, secretary of the
    governor Artur de Sá e Menezes, in 1695 and 1696 a gold-bearing stream was discovered on this mountain, which was later
    the name of Gualacho do Sul, but that the Paulistas of this flag of Garcia de Almeida and Cunha, Miguel Garcia, did not refuse to
    share the deposit with his companions from Taubaté, who, having then separated, marched inland and discovered the
    Ouro Preto stream.
    The lands there were "so much in demand that because it helped a lot of people, each miner could only touch three fathoms in a square",
    according to historian Varnhagen. Names like Brumado, Sumidouro,[disambiguation needed] rio Antônio Dias de Oliveira, by the priest
    João de Faria Fialho and Colonel Tomás Lopes de Camargo and his brother, around 1698. The village was founded in 1711 by the junction
    of these various camps, becoming the county seat, with the designation of "Vila Rica". Initially Vila Rica de Albuquerque and
    then Vila Rica de Nossa Senhora do Pilar in Ouro Preto.
    The city became known as an "open-air museum", preserving a large nucleus of colonial houses essentially intact,
    prestige throughout Brazil and even abroad, so much so that the Historic City was inscribed on the World Heritage List of
    UNESCO.The organization emphasized the authenticity, integrity and originality of its urban panorama, qualified as a work of human genius, its historical importance as the headquarters of the Inconfidência and a flourishing cultural center, and the importance of its main
    religious monuments, where masters of superior importance such as Aleijadinho and Ataíde performed, who left works that stand as
    the first signs of genuine Brazilianness.
    Its churches became particularly famous, many of them richly decorated and of superlative artistic and historical importance.
    including, for example, the churches of São Francisco de Assis, Matriz do Pilar, Ma
