Ouro Preto with Watsonites!

Praça Tiradentes e Museu da Inconfidència

Ouro Preto (Black Gold) used to be a centre of rich gold mining area, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This place is famous for its churches, and European influenced architectures. 

A group of my first year residence-mates, met up after years and decided upon travelling to Ouro Preto. The scenery en-route was incredible!

Igreja São Francisco de Assis

Igreja São Francisco de Assis is a renowned church in Ouro Preto where the interior is covered by gold. It was worth visiting, but sadly, no pictures were allowed in the church. An interesting fact is that some statues in the church contain real human hairs. 

p/s: There's a minimal entrance fee if you have a student card with you.

More churches:

If you are planning to drive to Ouro Preto, you need to be ready for all the steep streets. The state of Minas Gerais has one of the most steepest streets ever (in my opinion)! I will never dare to drive in these regions.

and of course, not forgetting a group picture of us! :D
