Monumento das Castanheiras Mortas, Memorial monument on BR-155 highway in Eldorado do Carajás, Brazil.
The monument features nineteen dead Brazil nut trees arranged in the shape of Brazil, with each tree representing a victim of the 1996 events.
The memorial marks the location where nineteen rural workers lost their lives during a confrontation with police forces on April 17, 1996.
The House of Memory Museum at the site contains documents, photographs, and exhibits that tell the story of land reform struggles in southern Pará.
Visitors can reach the monument by following BR-155 highway, where informational plaques provide details about each person remembered at the site.
By 2021, environmental factors and time reduced the original nineteen standing Brazil nut trees to just two remaining specimens.
