General Osório Square, Public square in Ipanema, Brazil

General Osório Square extends across four streets in Ipanema, featuring the Chafariz das Saracuras fountain and numerous benches beneath shade trees.

The square, established in the 19th century by Baron of Ipanema José Antônio Moreira Filho, received its current name in 1922 to honor General Manuel Luis Osório.

The Sunday Hippie Fair has operated since 1968, presenting local artisans who display handmade crafts, paintings, and sculptures throughout the square.

The General Osório metro station connects visitors directly to the square, while three different markets operate on specific days: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

The Chafariz das Saracuras fountain, created in 1795 by Mestre Valentim, displays bronze sculptures of Brazilian marsh birds on a circular basin with four tanks.
