Água para o Morro statue

At the square José Borges de Macedo (first mayor of Curitiba), which is in the back of the "Paço da Liberdade" (old town hall and the old municipal market), we will find the "Arcadas do Pelourinho" (where flowers, magazines and coffee are sold) and the fountain Maria Lata D'Água, inaugurated on 15 May 1996. At the fountain the sculpture "Água para o Morro" made by Erbo Stenzel in 1944 is installed.

José Borges de Macedo Square

The José Borges de Macedo square is a historical revitalized area that was created under a city ordinance of 1963, in honor of the first mayor of Curitiba (1853).
In 1994, the "Arches of Pelourinho" was built to houses newsstands, florists and a coffee shop and in 1996 the Erbo Stenzel sculpture "Maria Lata D'Água" was transferred to the fountain of the square.
