Facing the historic parish church, Praça Veiga Cabral retains the old central square's role as a meeting place. Religious memory, commerce and local culture share this space. Recent renovations belong to different administrations: Clécio Luís in 2016 and Antônio Furlan in 2025.

Observe the relationship between the church, the Cabralzinho monument and gathering spaces. Read the centre as a landscape shaped by successive interventions rather than assigning its entire history to the latest renovation. Combine nearby heritage with any cultural programme announced for your dates; residents' everyday use is also part of the square's interest.
