Mercadau Fundos Square — the Heart of Avaré
Mercadau Fundos Square is a typical urban space of southern Brazil, where historical heritage intertwines with the daily life of local residents. The open pedestrian area with cobblestone paving in the Portuguese mosaic style creates the atmosphere of an old European city transported across the Atlantic. To the right of the central part of the square stands a decorative gazebo-kiosk with white carved fencing, a yellow brick base, and a tiled roof — a characteristic element of Brazilian urban design from the early 20th century. Surrounding the square are commercial buildings with retail spaces: pharmacies, clothing stores, and beer halls — all forming a vibrant urban environment where one can observe the rhythm of life in provincial Brazil.
History of the Municipal Market
Construction of the Municipal Market in Avaré began in 1907, with the contractor being Moraes & Margoni from Botucatu — the same company that built the city's first school (now Escola Matilde Vieira). The market is located at Rua Santa Catarina, 1566, in the historic center of the city. The architectural style of the building reflects the influence of Portuguese colonial tradition, characteristic of many cities in the state of São Paulo. Over more than a century of history, the square has been reconstructed several times, yet it has preserved its original layout and function as a commercial and public center of Avaré.
The City of Avaré — a Pearl of São Paulo State
Avaré is a municipality in Brazil, part of the state of São Paulo, located 270 km from the state capital. The city was founded on September 15, 1861 by Major Vitoriano de Souza Rocha and Domiciano Santana. The population of Avaré is approximately 97.5 thousand people (2026 estimate), with a municipal area of 1,213 km². Avaré is known as one of the state's agricultural centers, as well as for its educational institutions and parks.
What Surrounds the Square
Mercadau Fundos Square is located in the central part of Avaré, in the Centro district. Nearby are significant city landmarks: Horto Florestal (forest park), Cristo Redentor, Santuario de Nossa Senhora das Dores, Fonte Da Vida, and CT Coliseum. These attractions form a tourist cluster that draws both local residents and visitors to the city. The commercial buildings around the square represent typical early 20th-century Brazilian urban development — two- and three-story buildings with retail spaces on the ground floor and residential apartments above.
City Events and Fairs
Mercadau Fundos Square traditionally serves as a venue for city events and fairs. In 2024, the 1st Regenerative Agriculture Fair (Feira de Agricultura Regenerativa) was held here with the participation of EMAPA, as well as the 4th Organic Grains Forum (Fórum de Grãos Orgânicos da Folio). These events highlight Avaré's role as one of the agricultural production centers of São Paulo state. Regular fairs and festivals at the square attract farmers and artisans from across the region.
