Vila Rica do Ouro Preto ( Rich Village of the Black Gold) is a city in the state of “Minas Gerais”, a former colonial mining town located in the “Serra do Espinhaco” mountains and designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its outstanding Baroque architecture.

Founded at end of the 17^th century, “ Ouro Preto” ( meaning Black Gold) was the focal point of the gold rush and Brazil’s golden age in the 18^th century.

The city contains well preserved colonial architecture, with view signs of modern urban life. Churches decorated with gold and the works of “ Aleijadinho” make Ouro Preto a tourist destination. In colonial times art was fairly advanced and developed into the “ Barroco Mineiro” , with many sculptors  ( Aleijadinho), painters ( Mestre Athayde), composers ( Lobo de Mesquita family), and poets ( Thomaz Gonzaga).

In 1789, Ouro Preto was the starting point of the “Inconfidencia Mineira”, a failed attempt to break from Portugal and from Brazilian Republic. In 1876 the “Escola de Minas” (mining engineering school) was created and set the technical basis for several mineral discoveries in Brazil. “Ouro Preto” was capital of ‘Minas Gerais” from 1822 until 1897, when the government moved to the new and planned city of “Belo Horizonte”

It show modern tulip that sent by Maria J

Tulips are spring- blooming perennials taht grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches and 28 inches. The word tulip, first mentioned in western europe around  1554 and seemingly derived from the “Turkish Letters” of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq.

Tulips are called Laleh in Persian, Turkish, and Arabic. In Arabic letters Laleh is written with the same letters as Allah, which is why the flower become a holy symbol. That’s why in the tiles, mosque, fabrics etc appeared lots of motifs of tulips. But tulips is famous a Netherland’s national flower. Because in Netherlands we can find lots of tulips and also lots of the variant J

Thank you for the postcard Maria, dan je wel !!
