Serraria Souza Pinto, Cultural center at Praça Rui Barbosa, Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Serraria Souza Pinto is a 1912 building on Praça Rui Barbosa in Belo Horizonte, one of the first structures in the new capital to use iron framing. Its open hall, spanned by metal beams, was built for sawing and storing timber and now holds fairs, congresses and shows. It was listed by IEPHA in 1981 and restored in 1997.

Built in 1912, it was one of Belo Horizonte's first buildings to use iron structures. It was listed in 1981 by IEPHA and restored in 1997 for events. In December 1998 it was incorporated into the Clóvis Salgado Foundation's heritage, becoming a venue for shows, fairs and congresses.

Since December 1998 the building has belonged to the Fundação Clóvis Salgado, which runs it as a venue for concerts, fairs, congresses and social, commercial and technical-scientific events. The iron structure of 1912 frames these gatherings in the Praça Rui Barbosa architectural ensemble.

The building stands on Praça Rui Barbosa, part of the architectural ensemble around the square in central Belo Horizonte. It is managed by the Fundação Clóvis Salgado and hosts fairs, congresses and shows, so the interior layout changes with each event; check what is scheduled before visiting. The iron structure and high ceilings make the hall adaptable for large crowds.

The building was erected in 1912, one of the first constructions in Belo Horizonte to use iron structures, and was listed by IEPHA in 1981. It was restored in 1997 and in December 1998 passed to the Fundação Clóvis Salgado, which runs it as a venue for shows, fairs and congresses.
