Historic center of Pirenópolis, Colonial heritage site in Pirenópolis, Brazil
The historic center contains Colonial buildings, religious structures, and irregular streets that adapt naturally to the terrain's contours and slopes.
Founded in 1727 during Brazil's gold rush, Pirenópolis maintained its original urban structure through the 19th century due to economic stagnation.
The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Church of Our Lord of Bonfim, and the Church of Our Lady of Carmo define the religious architecture.
The National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage protects one-third of the municipality's total area as a historical preservation zone.
The civilian architecture shows Portuguese influence with stone or wooden balconies and adjacent facades, different from other Brazilian colonial cities.
