Praça da República
A large tree-shaded square in front of the Theatro da Paz, lined with mango trees, with a Sunday handicrafts market and a lively bandstand.
Praça da República is the largest square in central Belém, planted with tall mango trees, which is why the city is known as the 'City of Mango Trees'. The square features a Republic monument, a French-style ironwork bandstand and several sculptures, with the Theatro da Paz on its north side. On Sunday mornings there is a handicrafts and snack market where you can buy Marajoara-style pottery. The square is free to visit during the day; take care at night.
