friends to continue my momentum of the wonderful sights of Brazil, I suggest you find pictures of Mariana (Mary Anne) and Congonhas, two cities of the state of Minas Gerais who are full of young and old treasures . A Mariana: Mariana
is the first capital of Minas, ella aceuilli the first bishopric and the first "camara" which can be likened to a current town hall, the seat of temporal and spiritual power of yesteryear, is now mariana more than a tourist town that is well worth a visit!
Camara de Mariana, in the most Portuguese style.
Congonhas:
Located a little further west congonhas has a basilica with the latest works of Aleijadinho. Who is Aleijadinho? It is simply the greatest sculptor of Brazil and one of the most famous of the Baroque world. Son of a slave and a Portuguese, Antonio Francisco Lisboa said the "Aleijadinho" (the little injured) because he had leprosy. At the end of his life his tools were directly attached to his stumps, and he worked tirelessly to build works of art for the greater glory of God. At Congonhas
you can admire the prophets, and scenes of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
The prophet Daniel carved by Aleijadinho

The crowning of thorns. Roman soldiers here wear the uniform of the Portuguese settlers that the artist was not in high esteem.
Here the soldier is the most caricatured
