5.00Ouro Preto emerged around the 18th century. But at that time, the city was known as Vila Rica and became the capital of Minas Gerais, in 1720. At that time, the city's strong point was the mining activity, which also moved the entire country. The city, located on the slopes of a narrow and winding valley delimited by two mountain ranges in the so-called Minas Gerais region, originated from the process of aggregation between the various gold mining camps, established there at the beginning of the 18th century.
