IGREJA NOSSA SENHORA DO CARMO
Beautiful church with gilded altars, Portuguese paintings and Bohemian crystal chandeliers, as well as a fine baroque and gilded organ.
Construction of this church began in 1760 and was financed by the diamond merchant Fernandes de Oliveira, Chica da Silva's lover. It is the city's most beautiful church, with rich gilded altars, 18th-century Portuguese paintings, Bohemian crystal chandeliers and a fine Baroque organ. The ceiling is decorated with beautiful paintings by Manoel Pinto and Aleijadinho. The organ is occasionally used by the church's organists.
