Pousada Contos de Minas

As WE explore the streets of Mariana, the first thing that catches the eye is the colonial-style architecture. The buildings in the town center have been well-preserved and date back to the 18th century. The churches, in particular, are a sight to behold. The Baroque architecture of the Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Carmo and the Igreja de São Francisco de Assis are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the era.

The town is also home to several museums that showcase the history and culture of the region. The Museu de Arte Sacra houses a collection of religious artifacts, while the Museu da Música displays a variety of musical instruments. The Museu de Mineralogia Professor Djalma Guimarães is a gemstone museum and is a must-visit for those interested in rocks and minerals.

Mariana is also a great destination for foodies. The town has a variety of restaurants that serve traditional Brazilian cuisine. The local specialty, feijão tropeiro, is a dish made with beans, sausage, and farofa and is a must-try.
