Vale do Anhangabaú, Central square and valley in São Paulo, Brazil
The Vale do Anhangabaú extends across 43,000 square meters between Viaduto do Chá and Santa Ifigênia viaducts in downtown São Paulo.
The valley originated as a natural watercourse with iron-rich waters that indigenous Tupi people named Anhangabaú, meaning poisonous water.
The space hosts the annual Virada Cultural festival and serves as a central location for public gatherings, demonstrations, and artistic performances.
Multiple metro stations and bus lines connect to the valley, which contains gardens, three fountains, and pedestrian walkways for urban circulation.
The area underwent transformation from a river to a park, then an expressway, and finally into a modern public square with underground water channels.
