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.

Cataguases Hotel

Cataguases/MG

Hotel Cataguases (Cataguases Hotel) is situated at 56 Major Vieira Street, in the city of Cataguases. Oscar Niemeyer’s influence, and especially that of the Cataguases School design, can be seen in this architectural plan from the late 1940s made by Aldary Henriques Toledo. Along with architect Gilberto Lyra Lemos, Aldary dominated the modern architectonic production of Cataguases in the following decade. The hotel started being built in 1948 and was inaugurated on July 28, 1951. The Hotel initially belonged to José Pacheco de Medeiros.
