Capitólio, Municipality in Minas Gerais, Brazil
The municipality spans across 522 square kilometers of land near the Furnas reservoir, featuring lakes, canyons, and natural rock formations.
After its foundation in 1948, the creation of the Furnas reservoir submerged portions of the original town, leaving underwater structures visible during low water periods.
Local festivals throughout the year showcase regional music, dances, and traditional dishes prepared with fresh fish from the Furnas reservoir.
The municipality connects to major cities through highways, with seasonal temperatures ranging between 18°C and 28°C throughout the year.
The northern edge of Furnas reservoir contains underwater remnants of original buildings that emerge when water levels decrease significantly.
