The Pampulha Modern Ensemble, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Brazil, is a landmark of modernist architecture designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1940s. Centered around an artificial lake, it includes the São Francisco de Assis Church, noted for its bold curves and vibrant tiles by Cândido Portinari, alongside other structures like the Casa do Baile and the Iate Tênis Clube. This ensemble showcases innovative design and cultural significance, blending architecture, art, and landscape. It represents a pivotal moment in Brazil’s architectural history and global modernism.
