Goiás bears witness to the occupation and colonization of the lands of central Brazil in the 18th and 19th centuries. The urban layout is a model of the organic development of a mining town, adapted to local conditions. Despite its modest size, the public and private buildings form a harmonious whole thanks to the consistent use of local materials and indigenous techniques.
