Largo da Batata, Public square in Pinheiros, São Paulo, Brazil

Largo da Batata is a public square in the Pinheiros district of São Paulo, Brazil. It is a wide, flat space surfaced in pale grey paving, with low concrete kerbs, shallow steps, planters with young trees, light poles, small rectangular lawns edged in stone, and benches along the paved paths.

The area was occupied by indigenous people around 1560, when the Pinheiros district was founded. In the 20th century, a market for agricultural products was established, and from 1909 a municipal market operated there, strengthening its commercial role.

The name comes from the potato sellers who once gathered here, and the square still serves as a meeting point for the neighborhood. On any given day, you might see people waiting for the metro, friends chatting on the benches, or small groups using the open space for events.

The square is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets and by metro, with wide paths that make it simple to cross. Benches and open areas offer places to rest, and the layout stays clear even when events draw a crowd.

In 2024, a snack brand briefly bought the naming rights to the square, but the decision was reversed after public criticism. The colorful vertical posts near the middle are a recent addition that adds a playful touch to the paved expanse.
