About Carlos Prates
What are the main landmarks in Carlos Prates?
One address, one dedication. The Santuário Arquidiocesano Nossa Senhora da Conceição dos Pobres is what the register files under Carlos Prates, and nothing else in the bairro has been catalogued alongside it. Barro Preto, a few blocks away, holds four churches and Casa Niemeyer.
A walk between the two takes in more listed ground than either bairro manages alone.
What is the history of Carlos Prates?
Carlos Prates enters the record as a named bairro of Belo Horizonte with no founding year attached, and the Santuário Arquidiocesano Nossa Senhora da Conceição dos Pobres is the only structure the listing names at all. A parish, then, and little more. The sanctuary's dedication to Nossa Senhora da Conceição dos Pobres is the one thread of the past the bairro keeps in public.
No earlier date survives in the listing.
Where is Carlos Prates?
Carlos Prates is built ground in Belo Horizonte, under a kilometre from Barro Preto and a little further from Lourdes.
