Legacy of the time of the Coffee Barons, Vassouras is a living collection
of
colonial architecture at the height of its splendor.
The scene of Vassouras is startling
for its natural decorations belonging
to the rich flora of the mountain
region.
Vassouras has, in the Museu da Hera, a brilliant reflection that the epoch
— and
some people —
imprinted on history.
Here the “most beautiful woman of the city”, Dona Eufrásia
Texeira Leite,
heiress of an incalculable furtune, was born.
It was left to the city aftem
her death in 1930.
Passing through Vassouras, a visitor should
see the Solar do Barão de Itambé,
the Palacete do Barão de
Amparo, and the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Vassouras offers a good selection of hoteIs and great restaurants.
