Congonhas is perhaps the most discreet of the historic cities of Minas Gerais, clearly standing out in comparison with Ouro Preto, Tiradentes and others.
It has, however, a precious asset – the work of Aleijadinho, reproducing the twelve apostles in soapstone, at the entrance to the sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos.
Highlights in Congonhas:
The statues, of course, but you don’t lose anything if you enter the church, and if you take a look at the chapels scattered around the terreiro, the whole of which is a UNESCO world heritage site.
