Lonely Planet review for Capela do Padre Faria

Ouro Prêto’s oldest chapel, built between 1701 and 1704, is the Capela do Padre Faria at the far eastern edge of town. Named after one of the original bandeirantes, Padre Faria, this chapel is set behind a triple-branched papal cross (1756) representing the temporal, spiritual and material powers of the Pope. Because of poor documentation, the artists here are anonymous.
