Walking in Praça Sete (downtown) in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais - Brazil.
Praça Sete is at the intersection of the city's main avenues - Afonso Pena and Amazonas. Designed by Aarão Reis at the end of the 19th century, the place was already called Praça Doze de Outubro. But, in 1922, the name Praça Sete de Setembro became official, due to the celebrations of the centenary of the Independence of Brazil. Today, people are used to simply calling the space Praça Sete.
And there is no way to talk about Praça Sete without mentioning the place's trademark: the monument known as Pirulito (Lollipop). Inaugurated on September 7, 1924, the obelisk was designed by architect Antônio Rego, built by engineer Antônio Gonçalves Prata and donated by the city of Betim, at the time named Capela Nova do Betim. In 1963, the monument was transferred to Praça Diogo de Vasconcelos (Praça da Savassi) by decision of the then mayor Amintas de Barros. The obelisk returned 17 years later - after the end of the modernization work at Praça Sete - to the city center and remains there until today.
During the renovation, each of the square's four blocks was closed and named after indigenous tribes that live in Minas Gerais.
The block on Rua Carijós, between Praça Sete and Rua Espírito Santo, was named Pataxó. The block on Rua Carijós, between Praça Sete and Rua São Paulo, was renamed Krenak. The closed block on Rua Rio de Janeiro, between Praça Sete and Rua Tamoios, was named Xacriabá. And the closed block on Rua Rio de Janeiro, between Praça Sete and Rua Tupinambás, was named Maxakali.
Praça Sete has, around it, important properties for the history of Belo Horizonte. Among them are the Cine Teatro Brasil (1932), the Banco da Lavoura (1946) and the building of the former Banco Mineiro da Produção, current P7, designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer in 1953. The building where the Integrated Urban Service Station is located (PSIU or Unidade de Atendimento Integrado - UAI) was built in the late 19th century and housed the headquarters of the Banco Hipotecário e Agrícola of the State of Minas Gerais.
