Marco Zero Square

The original name is Barão do Rio Branco Square, but it is known as Marco Zero Square because in it you find the zero quilometre concerning roads in Pernambuco. It is formed by a milestone in red color donated by donated by Automobile Clube. On the side you find Barão do Rio Branco statue, in brass, 2,80m high, from the sculptor Felix Charpentier. At the centre a compass card designed by Cícero Dias can be seen. During carnival, the square is like a headquarter for the multicarnival celebration which takes place in Recife.
