Praça da Alfândega e Entorno, Historic square in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The Praça da Alfândega occupies a central position in Porto Alegre, surrounded by architectural structures including the Ado Malagoli Museum and Santander Cultural center.
The square originated as Porto Alegre's river port in 1783, when local authorities commissioned the construction of a stone pier for transportation needs.
Since 1955, the square transforms each October into the location of Porto Alegre Book Fair, bringing literature and performances to thousands of visitors.
Multiple public transportation lines connect to this central location, making it accessible from different areas of Porto Alegre throughout the day.
The African Footprint monument, installed in 2011, marks the square as a representation point of Black cultural heritage in Porto Alegre.
