Like a few other places around the City of Goias, this one is historically abandoned today but used to be a prosperous village: its name was Ferreiro (or Smith man), the most famous mining place nearby. Part of a network around the ancient capital of the latest gold province in Brazil, Goias, during 3/4th of 18th Century. From ancient Ferreiro, all we find now is the colonial Portuguese style chapel, dedicated to Saint John. It was restored in the ´90s but is falling down again, full of bats. There many are other places from the gold times to be rescued, like Ourofino (Fine gold) or the Barra, first site of the founders, close to Red river (rio Vermelho).
