The Municipal Chamber of Belo Horizonte is the legislative body of the government of Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. It is unicameral and is composed of 41 councilors. The city of Belo Horizonte was founded on December 12, 1897. After its creation, the municipality was indirectly governed by the state governor (then president of the state) who personally chose who would be the mayor. The first legislative body was the Deliberative Council of Belo Horizonte, with its activities started in 1900, which despite its members being chosen directly by popular vote, only discussed and voted on the municipal budget and taxes proposed by the mayor. Initially, the activities of the Deliberative Council were held in a room in the Chamber of Deputies. In 1914, the building on the corner of Rua da Bahia and Avenida Augusto de Lima, now the Fashion Museum, was inaugurated to house the Deliberative Council and the Municipal Public Library.
