Goiás is both a state and a historic city in central Brazil. The city, officially called Goiás Velho (Old Goiás), was the former capital of the state until 1937 and represents an important piece of Brazilian colonial history. Founded by bandeirantes (Portuguese colonial explorers) in the 18th century during the gold rush, the city preserves significant colonial architecture and urban design. Its historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001, recognizing its importance as a testament to the occupation and colonization of central Brazil.
The city maintains much of its original Baroque architecture, including churches, government buildings, and residential houses, which reflect the Portuguese colonial influence. The local culture is rich in traditions, including religious festivities, regional cuisine, and artistic expressions, particularly in literature and crafts. The surrounding region is known for its natural beauty, with rivers, mountains, and cerrado (tropical savanna) vegetation characteristic of central Brazil.
