MARANHÃO SQUARE<br />

HISTORICAL <strong>DE</strong>NOMINATION<br />

Largo de Sant’Ana / Maranhão<br />

Square<br />

Located in front of the<br />

Church of Sant’Ana, and<br />

designed and built by Italian<br />

architect Antonio Landi in the<br />

18 th century, the small largo<br />

in the middle of the<br />

commercial center –<br />

originally called Largo de<br />

Sant’Ana – hosted for many<br />

years the religious services<br />

and festivities in honor of the<br />

saint.<br />

For some time after the<br />

church was built, it had a few<br />

trees that shielded from the<br />

inclement sunlight the<br />

drivers of carriages and<br />

cabriolets, who parked<br />

there waiting for the<br />

more affluent<br />

church-goers.<br />

Nowadays it<br />

serves as a<br />

thoroughfare for<br />

Praça Maranhão. O<br />

monumento ao Padre<br />

Anchieta.<br />

Maranhão Square. The<br />

monument to Father<br />

Anchieta.
