Photographer’s Note

Churchs archtecture is one of the styles of photo I most like. In Barbacena city, I take photos of five churchs.

Here I show the Our Lady Sorrows (Piedade) Church. The church was built between 1748-1764 architected by Jose Fernanes Alpoim (portuguese military, one of most important architects of XVIII in Brazil colony).

The church has barroque style. Inside the church a image of Our Lady of Sorrows made of wood in Portugal, it has many colors and gold.

The church is center of religious activity of the city and is a Federal Patrimony since 1988 by IPHAN.
