Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo
Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo Review
Completed in 1776, the impressive Our Lady of Carmel Church contains the last works of Aleijadinho. It was originally designed by Aleijadinho's father, an architect, but was later modified by Aleijadinho, who added additional rococo elements, including the soapstone sculptures of angels above the entrance. The church contains the only examples of azulejos (decorative Portuguese tiles) from this period in Minas Gerais.
