Known for its outstanding Baroque architecture, Ouro Preto is a designated World Heritage Site. Ouro Preto (meaning Black Gold) was originally named Villa Rica, the rich village in the 17th century due to the huge quantity of gold imported into the country. Once under the control of the Portuguese rule, the city remains hugely influenced by Portuguese culture.

While in Ouro Preto, remember to visit the sculptured works of Aleijadinho and the many century-old churches decorated with gold.
