Praça Getúlio Vargas, Public square and heritage asset in Nova Friburgo, Brazil.
The square stretches through the city center with three rows of eucalyptus trees and includes a fountain designed by French engineer Auguste Glaziou.
The Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional designated the square as a national heritage site in 1972, registering it under number 50.
Local artisans gather at the square during weekends, setting up traditional stalls to display and sell their handcrafted products.
The square contains a children's playground, public benches, and the Estação Livre transit station, making it an important transportation hub.
The century-old eucalyptus trees, planted by Glaziou in 1858, serve both as natural drainage systems and historical landmarks in this former marshland.
