Praça João Lisboa, Heritage square in downtown São Luís, Brazil
The square features a bronze monument with marble pedestal created by French sculptor Jean Magrou, commemorating journalist João Lisboa.
The location served as São Luís's first public market and witnessed battles between Dutch and Portuguese forces in 1643.
The square contains the ashes of João Lisboa beneath its monument, marking his significance as chair number 11 of Maranhão Academy of Letters.
Recent renovations added pedestrian-friendly urban solutions, improved lighting systems, and restored the Portuguese mosaic pavement with metamorphic patterns.
During restoration work, workers discovered the original streetcar tracks from the first half of the twentieth century beneath the surface.
