República Square, Historic square in Campina, Belém, Brazil.
The square features a central marble monument with bronze sculptures surrounded by landscaped gardens and paved walkways near Teatro da Paz.
Initially established as Peace Cemetery in 1756 during a smallpox epidemic, the area later served as a gunpowder storage facility before becoming a public square.
The central monument, completed in 1897, displays allegorical marble figures representing History through a winged woman sitting on books with inscriptions of probity.
The square connects to multiple neighborhoods including Campina, Reduto, and Nazaré, providing access to cultural venues and public transportation routes.
Two pavilions within the square now house the Waldemar Henrique Theater and the Federal University of Pará School of Art.
