Digital Atlas of Minas Gerais' Heritage listed by the Institute of Cultural and Artistic National Heritage

Project aim

The elaboration of an updated Digital Atlas of the historical and cultural heritage of Minas Gerais allows diverse community sectors to know the State’s cultural heritage through a visual and interactive reading of the listed items, presented in maps, photographs, drawings and specific documents. This makes possible a constant evaluation of the physical conditions of that patrimony with the purpose of protecting it.

Besides, one of the features of the Digital Atlas is its comprehensiveness, since it gathers knowledge from various fields such as Geography, History, Archeology, Sociology, Politics, Architecture and Arts, rendering its content richer in variety.

Blue House

Sabará/MG

Casa Azul (Blue House) is located at 215, Pedro II Street, in front of the Jacinto Dias Mansion, in the city of Sabará. Of unknown authorship, this rococo-style house dates back from the second half of the 18th century. It was built with big hand-made sun-dried bricks, an independent wooden structure and a foundation of coupled stones. The front façade has a rococo- style door. The paving is made of wide floorboards and there are three types of roof coverings: trough, smooth boards and stucco. There is a decorative painting in the ceiling, representing the Holy Spirit.
