SUMMARY:

This work intends to discuss the importance of the cultural heritage of the "Betas do Alto das Mercês" in São João del Rei - MG. Since the formation of the city, it started as a small village and attracted countless explorers who came to the inhospitable lands in search of gold. A historical-bibliographic study is the starting point for the research that seeks to investigate the beginnings of the village and its first inhabitants. When gold, which was found in abundance on the surface, becomes scarce, the search for the precious metal becomes a little more difficult, but not unfeasible. The search for gold between the slopes, the veins between the quartz rocks is the task of those who travel enormous distances in search of wealth. The study is based on the landscape, visible and invisible, formed by layers, easily perceived or not, left as vestiges through the centuries. The emphasis on the perceptible is due to the colonial architecture, such as the Church of Nossa Senhora das Mercês, the limit point between the historic center and Alto das Mercês and the Fortim dos Emboabas. Betas are part of the tangible heritage, but almost invisible due to the erasure of historical importance. It's a legacy that was left in the background, in the background. The intangible heritage is on account of oral history, which is one of the most beautiful and sensitive forms of cultural transmission. It is the story of those who remained, their dreams, fears, passions and disappointments. The engraving comes in as a humble artistic inspiration, an attempt to illustrate small clippings of this story. Through the use of rubber, linoleum, wood and other materials, matrices with naive inspiration were made. There is a desire to invite as a partner the 11th Mountain Infantry Battalion of São João del Rei to try to unravel one of the city's legends: The underground connection between Beta do Fortim dos Emboadas and Igreja do Carmo, in the historic center of the city. . Finally, to present an overview of the works prepared by professors and students of the Federal University of São João del Rei - UFSJ who presented proposals for artistic, cultural, museological intervention, which included topics such as: tourism, art, crafts, in an attempt to promote the development of Alto das Mercês.
