Conselheiro Lafaiete

City in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a centre holding many historic churches, Conselheiro Lafaiete traces its origins to one of the oldest settlements in the state, growing from a late-17th-century bandeirante outpost through a series of name changes before being renamed in 1934 to honour the influential imperial-era politician Lafayette Rodrigues Pereira. It sits within reach of mountains and the wider region's UNESCO World Heritage sites, and lies south of the state capital, Belo Horizonte.
