Tingui Park & Ukrainian Memorial
Parque Tingui / Memorial Ucraniano
A long, narrow park along a river. A replica wooden Ukrainian church and a display of Ukrainian Easter eggs capture Curitiba's immigrant culture.
Tingui Park stretches along the upper reaches of the Barigui River and is named after the Tingui people who once lived here. The Ukrainian Memorial is the park's main draw. It is a replica of the Church of St. Michael, a wooden church modeled on those built in Ukrainian immigrant villages in Paraná State. With its onion domes and wooden-shingle exterior, it has a distinctly Eastern European look. Inside, it displays traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs (pysanka) and embroidery. The park is free, and about 30 to 40 minutes is enough near the entrance. City sightseeing buses stop near the memorial, and it can be combined with Tanguá Park.
