\nOne of Aleijadinho\u2019s last projects, the Saint Anthony Church at Tiradentes housed a sophisticated eighteenth-century organ, still used in the celebration of masses. Framed by the splendid S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 mountain range, this town conducts an annual film festival and a world- class gastronomic festival.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It was the first settlement in the Rio das Mortes region when gold was found in 1702.
