A few weeks ago I agreed on a trade with Sílvia. We traded 8 cards in an envelope and most of the card I picked from her albuns were churches cards. All these 5 churches are located in different places around the Minas Gerais state.

This is the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Cocais. Although there is not much information about the date of construction of this church and who participated in the works, is believed that it has been built in the 18th century by a group of former black slaves.

There was not much information about the previous church but there's even less information about this one in Itamonte. I only know its name, Church of Our Lady of Conceição and it was under renovation works not so long ago.

The parish church of St. Anthony in Tiradentes is one of the most beautiful Baroque buildings in Brazil. It was built in 1710. Inside there is an organ dating from 1788, considered one of the fifteen most important in the world.

The Church of Our Lady of Carmo in Ouro Preto was one of the last projects of the architect Manuel Francisco Lisboa, Aleijadinho's father. The church was built in Rococo style - the last phase of the Baroque, less laden with gold. It is the only church in state with Portuguese tile panels. Its construction took place between 1766 and 1772.
