Two different churches

Mariana near Ouro Preto and
Bel Horizonte is a must and interesting place to visit in this part of Brazil - Minas Gerais
A view on the igreja Sao Fransisco church and the competitor Igrea Nossa Senhora do Carmo- there is a small difference between both.
The last mentioned one is under reconstruction after a fire disaster !

Interesting to see two churches 'facing off' like that! Very nice architecture though!
