The birthplace of the Inconfidencia Mineira, an independence movement of the 1790s, and named after its founder, Tiradentes Plaza features the Museu da Inconfidencia, dedicated to the memory of the revolt, and the Museu de Ciencia e Technica, noted for its collection of beautiful minerals from the local mines.
