João Fona cultural centre, Cultural center and museum in Santarém, Brazil.

The João Fona Cultural Center occupies a colonial building with twelve exhibition rooms, displaying regional art, photographs, and indigenous artifacts.

Built in 1867, the building initially served as a courthouse, city hall, and public prison before its transformation into a cultural center in 1991.

The center preserves Santarém's heritage through its collection of archaeological pieces, indigenous crafts, historical furniture, books, and local newspapers.

Located at Praça Barão de Santarém, the cultural center opens Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, offering guided tours in Portuguese.

The museum displays painted gourds, a local art form introduced by João Batista Pereira Fona, a painter and violinist born in 1901.
