  • Descrição: Of all the former European colonies in the New World it was Brazil that most faithfully and consistently reflected and preserved the architecture of the mother-country. In Brazil were never felt those strange indigenous influences which in Mexico and Peru produced buildings richer and more complicated in design than the very models of the peninsular Baroque. 1 Brazil never knew the exigencies of a new and severe climate necessitating modifications of the old national architectural forms, as in the French and English colonies of North America, where also the early mingling of nationalities produced a greater variety of types of construction. And the proof of this lies in the constant imitation in Brazil of the successive styles of architecture in vogue at Lisbon and throughout Portugal during the colonial period. 2 From the first establishments at Iguarassú 3 and São Vicente 4 down to the last constructions in Minas Gerais, the various buildings of the best preserved colonial sites in Brazil-at São Luiz do Maranhão, 5 in the old Bahia, 6 and the earliest Mineiro 7 towns-are completely Portuguese. Whoever would study them must remember the Lusitanian monuments of the period, treating Brazil as a larger architectural province of Portugal, examining with care the innumberable links which have always bound the architecture of the two countries into a single Portuguese-Brazilian style. 8
