The⁠ Santo Antônio church, which is the city's headquarters, holds hundreds of pounds of gold decoration and a facade designed by a well-known Brazilian sculptor, Aleijadinho. Marked in history, the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário is an 18th century church that was built by slaves.

Walking around the city is not an easy task, as the streets and sidewalks that make it up are largely unleveled pieces of stone, that is, it won't take long for the walk to start causing pain in the foot. In addition and another factor, is the presence of large hills, climbs and elevations, which easily tire anyone, be prepared to face them, as it will be very necessary!

Last but not least, handicraft shops fill the city's central square, which is known as Largo das Forras.
