Chafariz da Barra is an 18th‑century colonial fountain set into Ouro Preto’s cobblestone streets—ornate stone carving, mossy basins and surrounding baroque façades offer intimate architectural and street scenes. Visit at golden hour or early morning for soft light and fewer tourists. Narrow uphill lanes mean limited parking; wear grippy shoes. No entry fee; respect local residents and restoration signage.
