The practice of tourism in urban areas exploring geological aspects is calledurban geotourism. Despite the possibility of finding natural rock outcrops in a city, urban geotourism has more bias toward built heritage, focused on stone materials.Cemeterial geotourismandecclesiastical geotourismare branches of this activity. Cemeteries and churches all over the world have a very diverse petrographic collection, and this information could be explored in the itineraries of the existing visits, enriching the tour and contributing to the dissemination of geosciences. Urban geotourism is still underexplored in Brazil, but these geotrails are gradually emerging. The present work explores the potential of cemeteries and churches, both in Brazil and abroad, as appropriate places to know one of the most important building materials: stone.
