Caraça College
26km/16mi south of Santa Bárbara, on a plateau at the foot of the Serra do Caraça, is Caraça College. Its history began with the foundation of the church of Nossa Senhora dos Homens, built between 1770 and 1774 by a Franciscan named Lourenáo. In 1818 it was made over to the Lazarists, and the college was founded two years later - one of the first in Brazil to provide a complete grammar school education.
