De beoordeling van de Michelin Gids
The fine Casa dos Contos was built between 1782 and 1784 by the fantastically wealthy João Rodrigues de Macedo, future member of the Minas conspiracy movement. Transformed into a prison for the plotters, it then came to house the crown jewels, before becoming a gold foundry. The site is worth visiting more for the architecture than for the Museum of the Mint. More interesting is the disparate collection of tools, cooking-pots, swords, whips and chains for slaves displayed in the basement.
