Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
A complete Passion pilgrimage landscape composed of the sanctuary church, prophet-lined stairway, and chapels containing Aleijadinho’s polychrome Stations groups. Its inclusion rests on the union of Catholic devotion, pilgrimage movement, and an exceptional surviving Christian artistic program—not heritage designation alone.
