Iglesia realizada por Oscar Niemeyer. fue inaugurada en 1943. The Church of Saint Francis of Assisi (Igreja de Sao Francisco de Asis, commonly known as the Igreja da Pampulha) is a church in Pampulha district of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. It was designed by the Brazilian Architect Oscar Niemeyer in the organic modern style. It is the first listed modern architectural monument in Brazil and consists of four undulating concrete parabolas with outdoor mosaics. The church was controversial from the beginning. The mayor of Belo-Horizonte Mayor, Juscelino Kubitschek, was the patron of the project. Niemeyer said that he was inspired by the French Poet Paul Claudel's statement: "A church is God's hangar on earth," but Time Magazine, however, wrote that the Archbishop of Belo-Horizonte, Antonio dos Santos Cabral, saw it as "the devil's bomb shelter."[1] Despite its completion in 1943 and Kubitschek's call for its consecration, it was not consecrated until 1959; Archbishop Cabral called the structure "unfit for religious purposes." opposed both its architectural and artistic forms, particularly the mural of St. Francis behind the alter painted by Candido Portinari. He proclaimed the church "unfit for religious purposes." Wikipedia source
