Tiradentes Square, Municipal cultural heritage square in Funcionários neighborhood, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

The square lies at the intersection of Avenida Afonso Pena and Avenida Brasil, featuring a bronze statue and surrounding green spaces.

The square opened on August 20, 1962, during Mayor Amintas de Barros administration, before the installation of the Tiradentes monument in 1963.

A bronze statue by Antonio Van der Weill shows Tiradentes with a rope around his neck, commemorating his execution on April 21, 1792.

The Municipal Urban Cleaning Department performs annual maintenance of the statue every April 21, maintaining the square's appearance for visitors.

The square has witnessed numerous protests, including a notable demonstration where entrepreneurs displayed a seven-ton book of tax laws.
