Here is the world heritage was registered in 1985. If you transfer between Belo Horizonte and Ouro Preto, you can stop here easily. There are beautiful sculptures made by Aleijadinho. Inside church is also beautiful space. There is a vivid altar. We went there on Friday afternoon, there were few people. It was calm and silent place to feel Baroque art.

This sanctuary in Minais Gerais, south of Belo Horizonte was built in the second half of the 18th century. It consists of a church with a magnificent Rococo interior of Italian inspiration; an outdoor stairway decorated with statues of the prophets; and seven chapels illustrating the Stations of the Cross, in which the polychrome sculptures by Aleijadinho are masterpieces of a highly original, moving, expressive form of Baroque art.

(Translated by Google) The Stations of the Cross, with the Chapels of the Steps of the Passion of Christ, is located next to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, housed in the Sanctuary Square in Congonhas/MG and consists of six chapels, which represent the stations of the Stations of the Cross, a sacred path that symbolizes the journey of Jesus Christ to Mount Calvary, where he was crucified. The Stations of the Cross originally consist of 14 stations, each representing an episode of the passion of Christ and the faithful can walk the Stations of the Cross mentally or physically, meditating on the meaning of the death and resurrection of Jesus. In the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, the Chapels of the Steps of the Passion of Christ are made up of six themed chapels, which are spread throughout the churchyard and represent the following episodes: The Last Supper, the Garden Pass, The Arrest, The Flagellation, The Crowning with Thorns, The Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion The collection comprises 66 life-size polychrome wooden sculptures, housed in six chapels that bring together the seven groups of Steps of the Passion of Christ, making up one of the most complete sculptural groups of sacred images in the world, and is, without a doubt, one of the masterpieces of Francisco Antônio Lisboa, Aleijadinho, who left Humanity a work of great expression, originality and spirituality. (Original) A Via Sacra, com as Capelas dos Passos da Paixão de Cristo, fica localizada ao lado do Santuário de Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, abrigada na Praça do Santuário em Congonhas/MG e consiste em seis capelas, que representam as estações da Via Sacra, um caminho sagrado que simboliza o percurso de Jesus Cristo até ao Monte Calvário, onde foi crucificado. A Via Sacra originalmente é composta por 14 estações, cada uma representando um episódio da paixão de Cristo e os fiéis podem percorrer a Via Sacra mental ou fisicamente, meditando sobre o significado da morte e ressurreição de Jesus. No Santuário do Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, as Capelas dos Passos da Paixão de Cristo são compostas de seis capelas temáticas, que se espalham pelo adro da igreja e que representam os seguintes episódios: A Santa Ceia, o Passo do Horto, A Prisão, A Flagelação, A Coroação de Espinhos, O Carregamento da Cruz e a Crucificação Compõe o acervo, 66 esculturas de madeira policromada em tamanho natural, abrigadas em seis capelas que reúnem os sete grupos de Passos da Paixão de Cristo, compondo um dos mais completos grupos escultóricos de imagens sacras no mundo, sendo, sem dúvida, uma das obras-primas de Francisco Antônio Lisboa, o Aleijadinho, que deixou para a Humanidade uma obra de grande expressão, originalidade e espiritualidade.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely beautiful! I was sad because two of the chapels were undergoing treatment to prevent the deterioration of the sculptures. I think this could be done outside of the holiday period, but the truth is that no matter when it is done, someone will always miss it... So, it is better that they are doing something than leaving the moths alone... (Original) Absolutamente lindas! Fiquei triste pois duas das capelas estavam em tratamento para impedir a deterioração das esculturas. Acho que isto poderia ser feito fora do período de férias, mas a verdade é que não importa quando é feito, sempre alguém vai ficar sem ver... Assim sendo, é melhor que estejam fazendo algo do que largar as traças...

4Estátua Profeta Joel

Mentioned on 
Nestled within the rich tapestry of religious art, the Estátua Profeta Joel stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of Aleijadinho, a renowned sculptor who dedicated his later years to creating these remarkable figures. Despite facing physical challenges in his 70s, he meticulously carved the upper sections of each statue while his assistants worked on the lower parts. The Twelve Prophets, including Joel, are celebrated for their profound spiritual significance and artistic beauty.

(Translated by Google) The 12 Prophets of the Bom Jesus de Matosinhos Sanctuary are simply splendid. Each sculpture has a unique expression — no two are the same. Master Antônio Francisco Lisboa, known as Aleijadinho, demonstrated an impressive talent. In my opinion, sculpting with such detail in soapstone, which is such a fragile material, is truly extraordinary. Right next to the Sanctuary is the Congonhas Museum, which complements the visit by explaining the entire history and symbolism of the Bom Jesus de Matosinhos Sanctuary. It is definitely worth a visit! (Original) Os 12 Profetas do Santuário do Bom Jesus de Matosinhos são simplesmente esplêndidos. Cada escultura tem uma expressão única — nenhuma é igual à outra. Mestre Antônio Francisco Lisboa, o Aleijadinho, demonstrou um talento impressionante. Na minha opinião, esculpir com tanto detalhe em pedra-sabão, que é um material tão frágil, é algo realmente extraordinário. Logo ao lado do Santuário, está o Museu de Congonhas, que complementa a visita ao explicar toda a história e simbolismo do Santuário do Senhor Bom Jesus de Matosinhos. Vale muito a pena conhecer!

(Translated by Google) One of Aleijadinho's most important works, made of soapstone, is located in the municipality of Congonhas, Minas Gerais, at the entrance to the Bom Jesus de Matosinhos church. If you appreciate sculpture and haven't seen it before, I recommend visiting as soon as possible, as the over 200-year-old work is aging. Unfortunately, during my visit, on Sunday, July 7th, the church was without power, and all the chapels (where several other important works are on display) were closed for renovation. (Original) Uma das principais obras de Aleijadinho, no município de Congonhas/MG , feitas em pedra sabão, na entrada da igreja do Bom Jesus de Matosinhos. Se você aprecia escultura e não conhece, aconselho visitar o quanto antes pois a obra de mais de 200 anos, sucumbe ao tempo. Infelizmente, na minha visita, domingo dia 07/07, a igreja estava sem energia elétrica e todas as capelas ( onde estão expostas várias outras obras importantes) estavam fechadas, em reforma.

Pizza restaurant
Nestled in the charming city of Congonhas, Nova Pizzaria is a delightful spot that promises an unforgettable dining experience. Known for its exceptional pizzas, this pizzeria stands out with its signature crusts, which can be topped with catupiry or cheddar cheese and perfectly complement the fluffy dough. Even those who aren't typically fans of crusts find themselves won over by their unique offerings.
(Translated by Google) Excellent pizzeria. I haven't tried the other dishes and portions yet, but their signature dish is of excellent quality. The crusts are a highlight, which can be made with catupiry or cheddar cheese, and go really well with the fluffy dough. They have one of the best crusts I've ever had. I've never been a fan of crusts, but the one here won me over. They have all the traditional pizza flavors and some more exotic and sweet ones too. The five stars go to the fact that they deliver to the outlying districts of Congonhas, being the only delivery service that serves these outlying neighborhoods. Even though they only have set hours, they really serve those who didn't have the option of having pizza delivered to their homes. (Original) Excelente Pizzaria. Ainda não experimentei os outros pratos e porções, mas seu carro chefe é de excelente qualidade. Destaque para as bordas, podem ser de catupiry ou cheddar, que combinam demais com a massa fofinha. Umas das melhores massas que comi. Aliás nunca fui fã de borda, mas a daqui me conquistou. Possuem todos os sabores tradicionais de pizza e algumas mais exóticas e doces também. As cinco estrelas vão para o fati de entregarem nos distritos distantes de Congonhas, sendo o único serviço de delivery a atender esses bairros afastados. Mesmo sendo em horário único, atende demais quem não tinha opção de receber pizza em casa.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty pizza made with quality products (I thought the only thing that was left was the catupiry cheese). Unfortunately, the assembly was poor, with the edges measuring more than 5 cm, which greatly reduced the coverage area. The tomato was roughly cut and thrown on top of the pizza. Otherwise, the service was good, and the delivery was on time. (Original) Pizza muito saborosa feita com produtos de qualidade (só o catupiry achei que é puro amido).

Nestled in the charming city of Congonhas, MG, Restaurante e Pizzaria Bandeirantes is a must-visit for pizza lovers. Located at Praça Bandeirantes, this spot specializes in thick-crust pizzas that are generously topped with gooey cheese, perfect for those who appreciate a hearty slice.
(Translated by Google) To help. The pizza is excellent, for those who like thick crust, high crusts, lots of cheese, that cheesy pull... very generous. But it's only available for delivery. The atmosphere is very simple, and next door is a bar with lots of people drinking, lots of cigarette smoke, and loud music. They even serve pizza on a stone, but don't go there unless you plan to drink and smoke too. Anyway, if you like thick crust pizza and lots of melted cheese... order it, it's worth it. (Original) Pra ajudar. A pizza é excelente, pra quem gosta de pizza com massa grossa, bordas altas, muito queijo, aquele queijo puxando...bem farta. Mas só serve delivery.

(Translated by Google) We went on Good Friday night. The place couldn't handle the huge crowds (and that's acceptable). But I noticed it was a pleasant, family-friendly place. It was well-attended and served food with a "Minas Gerais" flavor. I was struck by the humility and dedication of the owner's two granddaughters (one named Maria Clara, a beautiful woman, by the way). Despite their young age, they were helping their grandmother serve customers and even worked hard at the register to collect the money. (Original) Fomos na noite de sexta feira da paixão. E o local não suportou o imenso movimento (e isso é aceitável). Mas percebi se tratar de um lugar agradável, e familiar. Bem frequentado e de comida de sabor "mineiro". Me chamou a atenção a humildade e esforço de duas netas da proprietária (uma delas de nome Maria Clara, linda por sinal) que apesar de super jovens, estavam ajudando a avó a servir os clientes, e ainda se desdobraram no caixa pra receber os valores.

(Translated by Google) The food was reasonable, with limited options including sausage, chicken, and pork. Price: R$89.90/kilo. It would be a maximum of 2 out of 10. However, when closing the bill, the cashier used a "domestic" calculator and did not show the calculations. He only stated the final amount, meaning the customer paid without knowing what was entered. My wife and I were there, we didn't eat much, we had one soda, and the amount quoted was R$165.00. I pointed out that it was obviously wrong. After recalculating, it dropped to R$100.00. I prefer to believe that the R$65.00 difference was unintentional. So... the lack of clear presentation of what was charged generates a lot of distrust. I will not return. (Original) Comida razoável, misturas limitadas a linguiça, frango e carne de porco. Valor R$89,90 / quilo. Seria no máximo nota 2. Porém, ao fechar a conta o rapaz do caixa, soma com calculadora de uso " doméstico " e não apresenta os cálculos. Apenas informa o valor final, ou seja, o cliente paga sem saber o que foi digitado. Estávamos eu e esposa, não comemos muito, tomamos 1 refrigerante e o valor informado foi R$165,00. Avisei que obviamente estava errado. No recálculo caiu pra R$100,00. Prefiro acreditar que não foi intencional a diferença de R$65,00. Então..... a não apresentação clara do que foi cobrado gera muita desconfiança. Não voltarei mais.

(Original) Voltei hoje para almoço. Não era tão tarde, mas a reposição do buffet ficou a desejar, enquanto eu servia. No entanto, a comida é saborosa. Recomendo.

(Translated by Google) It wasn't good, the barbecue meat was tough and a homeless person came up to us asking for food, went to the table, and none of the staff did anything. (Original) Não foi boa, a carne do churrasco dura e entrou um morador de rua abordando a gente pedindo comida foi até a mesa, e nenhuma funcionária fez nada
