Place de la Peace

Peace Square in São Paulo is located at the intersection of Av. Canada and Av. Estados Unidos. This is a very convenient starting point for a trip to São Paulo. This is where most sightseeing tours of the city start.

The square itself, paved with paving stones, is small in size and has no special artistic value. The attractions of this zone are the bridge, the city hall building and the fountain in the center of the square. The fountain is a metal ball mounted on two raised palms. When the fountain works, the ball is surrounded by splashes of water, beautifully "playing" in sunny weather. The pool of the fountain is lined with green tiles. Actually, the fountain symbolizes the World (by the name of the square) in all the ambiguity of this concept.
