The city is famous for its basilica - the Santuário do Bom Jesus do Matosinhos - and the soapstone sculptures from the 18th century. The highlight of the tour is Aleijadinho’s work, such as the sculptural masterpieces of the twelve Prophets, carved in soapstone and his sculptural representation of the Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross), done in polychromatic woodwork. The set of life-sized sculptures is Brazil’s greatest artistic treasure. Aleijadinho is considered one of the best artists in the baroque style in the world and in Congonhas you may find some of his best pieces.
