Nossa Senhora do Carmo Church |
Built at Furquim district, in the end of the 18th century, Nossa Senhora
do Carmo Chapel had simple architecture and presented a side signaler from the 18th century. It keeps a nice patrimony of great
artists like Francisco Xavier Carneiro and Francisco Machado Luz, enriching the precinct historic and cultural value even more.
The building passed through a fire in 1999, leaving intact only the major altar and
the building’s front. In the incident time, the pieces were as gathered and transfered to Museu de Arte Sacra de Mariana (Mariana’s Sacred Arts
Museum), where they passed through a restoration process.
The church is protected by IPHAN.
