Belo Horizonte is Brazil's third-largest city and capital of Minas Gerais state, home to approximately 2.7 million city residents and 6 million in the metropolitan area. It shares Brasília Time (BRT, UTC-3). The city was Brazil's first planned modern city, designed from scratch at the turn of the 20th century and inaugurated in 1897, replacing Ouro Preto as the state capital. 'Belo Horizonte' translates as 'Beautiful Horizon' — the city sits in a bowl surrounded by the Iron Quadrangle (Quadrilátero Ferrífero), one of the world's richest iron ore and mining regions. Brazil is the world's largest iron ore exporter, and BH (as locals call it) is the headquarters of Vale, one of the world's largest mining corporations. The city is a major hub for Brazil's automotive industry and services sector. Belo Horizonte is also a Brazilian football city — Mineiro Stadium hosted the infamous 7–1 defeat of Brazil by Germany in the 2014 FIFA World Cup semifinal, a match seared into football history as the 'Mineirazo.'
