It is part of a racecourse/restaurant complex where I had lunch one day. I had Feijoada, which is a stew of beans with beef and pork meats, a traditional Brazilian dish. Like many restaurants in Brazil, it is a buffet-style arrangement where you walk up and help yourself to the selection of dishes.

Ouro Preto has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its outstanding Baroque architecture. This is an extremely picturesque place with small, hilly, streets and houses with wrought iron hand rails and decorative trimmings. This front door (and windows) is a very typical one.
