A stone crucifix on Praça Santo Antônio overlooking Lagoa da Pampulha and the nearby modernist landmarks. Photograph the cross framed against the water and the Pampulha Modern Ensemble (Igreja São Francisco) at golden hour; the site is small, open, and free to visit. Best light is sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and reflections; weekday mornings have fewer people. Easy street parking nearby; approach respectfully—this is an active religious spot and local pilgrimage site.
