Campo de Santana, Public park in Centro district, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Campo de Santana spans 15.52 hectares of green space with grassy hills, dense trees, artificial lakes, cascades, and ornamental fountains scattered throughout.

The park witnessed the proclamation of the Brazilian Republic in 1889 and the acclamation of Emperor Pedro I in 1822.

French landscape architect Auguste Glaziou designed the park in 1873, incorporating artificial streams, ponds, and gardens that reflect 19th-century Brazilian garden design.

Located at Praça da República in downtown Rio de Janeiro, the park opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission.

The park houses various native animals including capybaras, geese, wild ducks, and peacocks that roam freely among its artificial lakes and gardens.
