Brazil - Historic Centre of the Town of Diamantina

"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."

A diamond mining town in the 18th and 19th centuries with beautiful historical buildings. This is one of my favorite sights with the connecting bridge across the cobbled steep street. Thanks so much to Karina of Brazil for this wonderful card.
