Minascentro, Convention center in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Minascentro is a convention facility in downtown Belo Horizonte with multiple floors containing exhibition halls, conference rooms, and event spaces. The building has modern technical equipment and can accommodate hundreds of participants for different types of gatherings.

The building was designed in the early 20th century as the headquarters of the Minas Gerais State Health Secretariat, a role it held for several decades until 1982. That year work began to adapt the whole structure and add theatres, auditoriums and exhibition areas. It is a Neoclassical building listed by Belo Horizonte's municipal heritage authority, part of a wider Neoclassical ensemble built between 1897 and the 1920s.

The building's name combines Minas, for the state, with centro, for its role as a downtown convention centre. Its event rooms carry gemstone names: Topázio and Granada theatres, Ágata, Quartzo, Turmalina, Esmeralda, Água Marinha and Pirita auditoriums, Jaspe and Safira halls, and the outdoor Praça Cristal with its illuminated fountain.

The center is located on Rua Curitiba in downtown and is easily reachable by public transportation from different parts of the city. The building has clear signage and good infrastructure to help visitors find their way around.
