Lonely Planet review for Matriz NS da Conceição de Antônio Dias

Matriz NS da Conceição de Antônio Dias was designed by Aleijadinho’s father, Manuel Francisco Lisboa, and built between 1727 and 1770. Note the eagle with downturned head and the Virgin Mary surrounded by cherubs: both stand atop images of the moon, symbolizing the Christians’ domination of the Moors. Aleijadinho is buried by the altar of Boa Morte. The Museu do Aleijadinho in the adjoining sacristy displays beautiful works by Aleijadinho and other 18th-century masters.
