Milho Verde

Milho Verde is an administrative district within the municipality of Serro, located in the mountains of Minas Gerais at about 1,200 meters elevation. The Capela do Rosário church forms the center of this settlement.

The district was established during the colonial period as part of Serro, after the Portuguese set up mining and farming activities in this region. These early foundations shaped the settlement's structure.

The Capela do Rosário sits at the heart of the settlement and shows building styles that have been common in this region for centuries. Visitors can see how traditional architecture shapes everyday life here.

The location sits in the mountains and requires appropriate preparation for visiting at this elevation. Visitors should learn about local paths and the best season to plan their stay effectively.

The district holds special powers within Brazil's administrative system to create local laws and collect its own taxes. This makes it a distinct unit with unusual autonomy compared to most other settlements.
