Igreja Nosso Senhor do Bonfim




Built in 1745, the Church is famous for it's miraculous power to heal. Inside you will see replicas of feet, arms, heads, hearts - parts of the body devotees claim were cured. When you approach the church you'll undoubtedly be offered a fita (ribbon) to tie around your wrist. With the fita you can make three wishes that will come true by the time it falls off. This usually takes over two months and you must allow it to fall off from natural wear and tear. Cutting it off is said to bring bad luck.
