Christ the King Cathedral, Belo Horizonte, Metropolitan Cathedral in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The Christ the King Cathedral features modernist architectural elements with flowing lines and curved forms designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer.
The cathedral project originated in 1922 when Bishop Antonio dos Santos Cabral arrived in Belo Horizonte and decided to dedicate it to Christ the King.
The cathedral serves as the primary religious center for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Belo Horizonte, hosting major liturgical ceremonies throughout the year.
Located on Cristiano Machado Avenue in the northern part of Belo Horizonte, the cathedral remains under construction with funding from public donations.
The structure represents Oscar Niemeyer's final architectural contribution to Belo Horizonte, incorporating his characteristic curvilinear design elements.
