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.

Diamantina/MG
Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Amparo (Our Lady of Prompt Succour Church) located on Amparo Street, in central Diamantina. The construction of this religious building dates from the second half of the 18th century, from 1773 to 1776. The authorship of the project is unknown but it was idealized by the Irmandade dos Pardos do Arraial do Tijuco (Pardos of the Tijuco Village Brotherhood). The Church, integrated to a row of houses, stands out in the urban ambience because it is in a street corner and has a small churchyard, aligned with the residential houses.
