São Miguel das Missões

The ruins of São Miguel das Missões feature stone structures including a church, residential buildings, and walls from the colonial period.

The San Miguel Mission, established in 1632, formed part of the Jesuit Missions of the Guaranis until the expulsion of Jesuits in 1768.

The Mission Museum houses religious artifacts and images that document the interaction between Jesuit missionaries and Guarani indigenous communities.

The municipality spans 1,246 square kilometers at 305 meters elevation, with regular transportation connections from major cities in Rio Grande do Sul.

The architectural remains demonstrate construction techniques that merged European and indigenous methods during the 17th century South American colonization.
