Ouro Preto

Ouro Preto is a municipality in Brazil, in the State of Minas Gerais. It was founded in 1711 to join a large number of other villages that existed in the area. Its history was marked for a long time by the existence of large gold reserves in the soil, which were exploited by the Portuguese colonists with slave labor. Ouro Preto is visited today by large numbers of tourists visiting the country's interior instead of its coast, for the warmth of its landscapes and its colorful buildings that bring the eye pleasure. Ouro Preto was declared a Heritage of Humanity Site and visitors can't help but admire
