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.

Saint Francis of Assisi Church

Mariana/MG

Igreja de São Francisco de Assis (Saint Francis of Assisi Church) is located in former Largo da Cadeia (Prison Plaza), currently Largo de São Francisco (Saint Francis Plaza), in the city of Mariana. The Terceira Ordem de São Francisco (Third Order of Saint Francis) had the initiative to build its own church in 1761, when it was licensed by Dom Manuel da Cruz. According to the project, made by priest Ferreira da Rocha in 1762, this Church started to be built that year, but the project was replaced by another one made by architect José Pereira dos Santos.
