Diamantina, a colonial village set like a jewel in a necklace of inhospitable rocky mountains, recalls the exploits of diamond prospectors in the 18th century and testifies to the triumph of human cultural and artistic endeavour over the environment.

With three centuries since the town foundation, Diamantina is a city rich in history and traditions. It possesses an architectural, cultural and natural rich and preserved legacy. In 1938, the Architectural Complex of the Historical Center was protected by the IPHAN and later on came the worldwide recognition: Diamantina received from UNESCO the heading of World Cultural Heritage.

Currently, Diamantina is one of the most known and visited historical cities of Brazil. The colonial buildings, of baroque inspiration; the historical constructions; the secular churches; the gorgeous natural landscape and one strong religious, folkloric and musical tradition confer a special singularity to the city.
