One of Niemeyer´s masterpieces, the cathedral´s curved forms define a classic modernist building of the mid-twentieth century.

The center of the old town is this plaza shared by church, university students and tourists
Still a university town and mining center, the town of Ouro Prêto has a very vibrant community as seen by the many pedestrians here
