IGREJA SÃO FRANCISCO DE ASSIS
Church with paintings and azulejos, representing one of the symbols of contemporary Brazilian architecture.
The Pampulha church is one of the symbols of contemporary Brazilian architecture, part of the Pampulha complex, the fruit of collaboration between Oscar Niemeyer, Portinari and Burle Marx. The project was launched in 1943 at the request of Juscelino Kubitschek, then mayor of BH. The church was completed in 1960. The figure of St. Francis is built with the rigor of a statue. Portinari created the paintings of the sacred path and some of the azulejos.
