A bit of the architectural beauty of the city and its traditional Vesperata

Introduction

   The history of Diamantina dates back to the 18th century when, still known as Arraial do Tejuco, it gained fame with the discovery of precious stones. Even after the decline of diamond exploration sent to Portugal, the city continued to shine, whether through its striking personalities, such as Chica da Silva, the slave who lived like a queen alongside a Portuguese contractor, or Juscelino Kubitschek, its most illustrious son and former president of Brazil. In 1999, Diamantina was awarded the title of World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, gaining worldwide prominence with its untouched scenery of baroque churches, colonial houses, and cobblestone streets illuminated by lanterns.

     But Diamantina holds even more charms. Nestled in the lush Serra do Espinhaço, the region is dotted with caves, waterfalls, and an unparalleled natural charm. Furthermore, it keeps alive the tradition of cultural festivals, such as the serenades that gave rise to the city's most iconic event: the Vesperata. Held on Saturday nights, the spectacle transforms Quitanda Street into an open-air stage, with musicians positioned on the balconies of colonial mansions. To the sound of waltzes, boleros, and sambas, the atmosphere gains a unique and unforgettable ambiance, capable of moving any visitor.
