Ouro Preto (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈo(w)ɾu ˈpɾetu], Black Gold), formerly (until 1823) Vila Rica (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈvilɐ ˈʁikɐ], Rich Village), is a city in and former capital (from 1720 until 1897) of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It used to be a colonial mining town. It is located in the Serra do Espinhaço mountains and has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its outstanding Baroque Portuguese colonial architecture.
Ouro Preto is located in one of the main areas of the Brazilian Gold Rush.
Officially, 800 tons of gold were sent to Portugal in the eighteenth century, not to mention what was circulated illegally, nor what remained in the colony, such as gold used in the ornamentation of the churches. The municipality became the most populous city of Latin America, counting about 40,000 people in 1730 and, decades after, 80,000. At that time, the population of New York was less than half of that number and the population of São Paulo did not surpass 8,000.
The city/municipality is further divided into several municipal districts, see https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_distritos_de_Ouro_Preto (in Portuguese) and/or https://ouropreto.mg.gov.br/turismo/dados-geograficos (in Portuguese).
Ouro Preto municipal district, Ouro Preto municipality.
