Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora do Pilar, Colonial Catholic church in Nova Lima, Brazil.
The Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora do Pilar stands at Bernardino de Lima Square, featuring ornate altars and a prominent choir area in its interior.
The church contains valuable artistic elements crafted by master sculptor Aleijadinho during the 18th century, including the main altar and baptistery.
Art critic Germain Bazin recognized the artistic value of the church's decorative elements, which were donated by George Chalmers from Fazenda da Jaguara.
The religious building underwent restoration work in 2010 to maintain its structural integrity and preserve its original architectural characteristics.
This religious monument holds the distinction of being the closest church containing Aleijadinho's works to Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais.
