7. Ouro Preto
This special town is designated by UNESCO a World Heritage Site because it has an outstanding Baroque architecture represented by churches, museums and many other buildings.
This particular town is famous for the rise it had during the Brazilian gold bloom, making it now a place where history has a meaning and can offer the tourist a big number of attractions.
For those interested in visiting Ouro Preto we must say it can be fun because here we can visit a large variety of world known museums, different former mines, opened for the tourist to visit and a variety of churches which display in detail the baroque style in his religious form.
Ouro Preto is the best place to visit in Brazil because its the best preserved colonial city from the country where the new buildings must adhere to the style of that specific era, and create a beautiful mix between the new stylized structures and the old baroque constructions.
