Parks and Iconic Squares

Recife’s public spaces range from historic colonial sites to modern architectural landmarks. Praça Rio Branco, known as Marco Zero, marks the city's foundation point, while the Sculpture Park features over 90 ceramic works by Francisco Brennand on the harbor reefs. Modern additions include the Oscar Niemeyer-designed Dona Lindu Park. Other sites, like the Forte do Arraial Novo do Bom Jesus, preserve 17th-century military history, while Praça Boa Viagem hosts a traditional evening craft market near the shoreline.
