LA-Web 2014 will take place in the historic town of Ouro Preto, Brazil. Ouro Preto is located approximately 100 km from Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Famous for its magnificent well-preserved Portuguese colonial architecture, Ouro Preto was the first city in Brazil to be declared World Cultural and Historical Heritage Site by UNESCO. The 18th and 19th-century churches decorated with gold and Baroque sculptures make the city a prime tourist destination.
