Teofilo Otoni

Teófilo Otoni has served as a commercial centre in Minas Gerais’s Mucuri Valley since the mid-19th century. Founded in 1853 by politician and entrepreneur Teófilo Benedito Ottoni as the settlement of Philadelphia, it later took his name. The city is internationally associated with the trade in coloured gemstones from northeastern Minas Gerais, and its International Precious Stone Fair draws dealers and collectors. Set in the Mucuri River basin, Teófilo Otoni is an urban hub for a broad interior region of rolling hills and transitional dry-to-tropical landscapes. Jewellers, gem-cutting businesses and street commerce give its centre a distinctly working character.
