Decision 17 COM X
SOC: Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Congonhas (Brazil)

Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Congonhas (Brazil)

In general, the ensemble of Bom Jesus do Congonhas had been well preserved. However, architecture of mediocre quality has a negative affect on the surroundings of the site. Furthermore, regarding the physical state of conservation, specific problems were identified in parts of the woodwork in the main ship of the church and the mural paintings inside the chapel. Measures have to be taken to improve this situation.
