Dom José Gaspar square, Public square in República District, São Paulo, Brazil
The square surrounds the Mario de Andrade Municipal Library, situated between São Luís Avenue and Consolação Street in downtown São Paulo.
In 1949, the square received its name in honor of Dom José Gaspar d'Afonseca e Silva, who became the youngest archbishop of São Paulo at age 38.
The square displays bronze busts of literary figures, including Dante Alighieri, Miguel de Cervantes, and Luís de Camões, installed during the 1950s.
The area features free WiFi access through the WifiLivreSP project, making it the first square in São Paulo to offer this public service.
During the 1970s, the square transformed into an impromptu soccer field where office workers and students gathered to play and watch matches.
