About Lourdes
Where to stay in Lourdes
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Secretaria da Viação on Praça da Liberdade anchors the bairro, with the Memorial Minas Gerais Vale, the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil and the Espaço do Conhecimento UFMG filed on the same ground. Few bairros hold more. A room in Lourdes puts the MM Gerdau - Mines and Metal Museum and the Museu Inimá de Paula within the same walk as the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes.
SESC Palladium sits here too.
About Lourdes
What are the main landmarks in Lourdes?
The sheet runs long. The Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes, the Saint Joseph Church, the Igreja Nossa Senhora de Fátima and the Igreja Metodista do Brasil give the bairro four places of worship, and the museums outnumber them several times over. Abílio Barreto History Museum, MM Gerdau - Mines and Metal Museum, Museu Inimá de Paula, Belo Horizonte Fashion Museum and the Professor Djalma Guimarães Museum of Mineralogy head that list.
Memorial Minas Gerais Vale, Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil and SESC Palladium add cultural halls, while Palacete Vivacqua and Solar Narbona are filed as named houses.
What is the history of Lourdes?
No founding year sits in the file for Lourdes. The Abílio Barreto History Museum carries history in its own title, and the Memorial Minas Gerais Vale names the state itself, while the Palacete Vivacqua and Solar Narbona are entered as houses under their own names. Lourdes files names, not years.
One entry is titled 20 years of Diretas Já, and the Museu da Polícia Civil do Estado de Minas Gerais and the Memorial do Ministério Público de Minas Gerais name two arms of the state.
Where is Lourdes?
Praça da Liberdade falls inside Lourdes, a bairro under Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The sights sit close.
