Praça Rui Barbosa, Public square in central Belo Horizonte, Brazil
The square features marble statues representing the four seasons, two lions, two tigers, and nymphs positioned around a fountain at its center.
The square began construction in 1904 with English-style gardens and served as the entry point for building materials during Belo Horizonte's establishment.
The Monument to Terra Mineira, created by Italian sculptor Giulio Starace in 1930, displays bronze plaques depicting significant events in Minas Gerais history.
The Belo Horizonte Central Metro Station entrance is located within the square, connecting visitors to the city's public transportation network.
The Arts and Crafts Museum, housed in a neoclassical building within the square, stands as the only museum of its kind in Latin America.
