Mariana - Gold Mining

This 18th century mine was mined out years ago and is used as a tourist ´attracione´.
Compressed air drives this cable reel.






Inside the mine:



Coming out of the mine



And later in the town of Marianna, more churches



At the seminary overlooking the town we managed to get up into the bell tower which was more interesting.



Later that evening a nice meal back in Ouro Preto
