Veloso Gold Mine - Single Side

sketchfab

Ancient underground gallery once used for gold extraction in the 18th and 19th centuries at Ouro Preto, Brazil, now adapted to welcome tourists. Guided visits take visitors through a journey that highlights the gold cycle, with special emphasis on African miners who worked tirelessly but remained unremembered. Their story is brought to light, showcasing their knowledge, skills, and origins as enslaved Africans forcibly brought to mine in the 18th century. At the reception area, an art store, handicraft shop, and jewelry boutique offer unique souvenirs, along with clean toilets for visitors' convenience. This project utilized over 3600 photos captured with a Nikon P900 camera, post-processed using Metashape software. Lighting was achieved through the use of camera flash and LED panels.
