Praça da Liberdade, Square in Savassi district, Belo Horizonte, Brazil
The Praça da Liberdade contains gardens with imperial palm trees, marble sculptures, gazebo, and three fountains arranged in French-style landscaping layout.
Built between 1895 and 1897 during the foundation of Belo Horizonte, the square underwent a major renovation in 1920 to adopt Versailles-inspired design.
The square anchors a cultural district with ten institutions, including the Bank of Brazil Cultural Center and the Museum of Mines and Metal.
Located at the intersection of four major avenues, the square offers walking paths, benches, and green spaces for outdoor activities throughout the day.
The first traffic light installed in Belo Horizonte in 1929 remains operational in its original location at the square.
