Created in 1982, Praça Floriano Peixoto also became known as Praça do Sapo, or Frog Square. Local memory links that nickname to the wet environment preceding its lake and the frogs found there. Municipal renovation in 2016 under Clécio Luís renewed its role as a gathering space.

The lake and trees offer a way to read the square: notice reflections, shade and people's movement around the water. The landscape reveals urban change while preserving an older name's memory. Check cultural programmes before planning specific activities, and treat the lake as a viewing area rather than feeding animals or entering the water.
