Opened on Macapá's anniversary in 2024, the square features a monument by J. Márcio and team honouring Indigenous, Black, caboclo and riverine roots. The project was delivered under Mayor Antônio Furlan with architect Jean Leão's participation.

Observe the different faces and how they connect within the composition. This collective tribute does not replace the actual diversity of the communities represented: each has its own histories. Combine the square with Parque Meio do Mundo and Marco Zero without confusing the three sites. Take photographs from pedestrian areas rather than using the roadway as a viewpoint.
