Some distance north of the centre of Belo Horizonte is the luxurious district of Pampulha , built around an artificial lake which is overlooked by some of the finest modern buildings in the city - the Museu de Arte, the modernist Igreja de Sao Francisco and the Casa do Baile. They are instantly recognizable as the work of architect Oscar Niemeyer , creator of Brasilia, and landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx - both of whom, with their socialist ideals, were presumably horrified by the subsequent development of the area as a rich residential district.
