Pilar de Goiás is a small town and municipality in north-central Goiás state, Brazil. The city is one of the oldest in the state having been settled in 1741 when explorers came looking for gold in the rivers. There is still a historical part of the town with mansions, plazas, monuments and colonial churches. The period of prosperity lasted for forty years. When the gold ran out Vila Pilar survived because of the sugar cane mills, and small plantations. Soon it was abandoned and it lost even its name, being called Itacê, district of Itapaci. In 1953 it regained its name and became a city.
