General Tibúrcio Square, Public square in central Fortaleza, Brazil
General Tibúrcio Square features three bronze lion statues, wide stone stairways, and a statue of writer Rachel de Queiroz sitting on a bench.
The square originated in 1730 with the construction of Nossa Senhora do Rosário Church and received its first public statue in 1888 honoring General Tibúrcio.
The square hosts the Ceará Academy of Letters and Ceará Museum, making it a center for literature and regional historical documentation.
The intersection of São Paulo and Sena Madureira streets provides access to the square, which connects to multiple transportation routes in downtown Fortaleza.
The iron statues of two lions and a tiger were manufactured at the Val d'Osne foundry in Paris, with identical copies located in Maceió.
