Pedra do Guindaste marks the Amazon landscape beside Trapiche Eliezer Levy. Its image of Saint Joseph connects this riverside landmark with devotion to Macapá's patron saint. View it from the waterfront as part of a route between the pier and historic centre.
Notice the relationship between river, monument and city, including changing perspectives along the walk. Accounts and research on Macapá's landscape also preserve the site's memory. Consulted sources disagree on the sculpture's authorship, so no artist is presented as definitively established. Viewing from the bank does not imply access to the monument's base.
