The '''São Brás Market''' ([[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]: ''Mercado de São Brás'') is a historic building located in the Brazilian city of [[Belém]], in the state of [[Pará]]. It was built during the [[Amazon rubber cycle]]. Construction began on May 1, 1910 and was completed on May 21, 1911.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Belém – Conjunto Arquitetônico e Paisagístico do Mercado de São Braz |url=https://www.ipatrimonio.org/belem-c...loc=-1.451410588807706,-48.468348992642284,17 |access-date=2024-05-02 |website=iPatrimônio}}</ref>
The market was built to accommodate the large amount of trade generated by the Belém-Bragança Railway, whose last stop was in the São Brás neighborhood. It was also designed to expand the city's supply, which until then had been concentrated in the [[Ver-o-peso|Ver-o-Peso Market]]. The structure is made from iron and mixes art nouveau and neoclassical elements, with sculptural details also in iron and decorative tiles.<ref name=":0" />
== History ==
At the beginning of the 20th century, Antônio Lemos, the mayor of Belém, granted the land to build the market. Materials and workers were imported from Italy, and the work was executed by the Italian engineer Filinto Santoro, who was also responsible for the Augusto Montenegro Palace and the [[Gentil Bittencourt School]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Pantoja |first=Laura Cristina |year=2014 |title=Mercado de São Brás e seu entorno |url=https://repositorio.ufpa.br/jspui/bitstream/2011/6756/1/Dissertacao_MercadoSaoBras.pdf |journal=UFPA}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last=Silva |first=Leandro |year=2016 |title=Aspectos da formação espacial da feira e mercado de São Brás - Belém, Usos, Trocas, Relações e Conflitos |url=https://www.eng2016.agb.org.br/resources/anais/7/1465400266_ARQUIVO_ARTIGO.ENG.Leandro.pdf |journal=ENG 2016}}</ref>
In 1988, during the administration of Mayor Fernando Coutinho Jorge, the market underwent a major renovation with significant changes to spatial aspects and use. After the intervention, the current building included spaces for theater, marketing and municipal administration workshops. Due to the acoustics and the amount of traffic, the theater was shut down and the market temporarily closed. The fish market, flanked by kiosks of the same style, form the cultural complex of the São Brás Market.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
The second renovation took place between 1998 and 1999 under Mayor Edmilson Rodrigues and included the restoration of the roof, waterproofing and painting. At the time, due to the increase in informal work in the area, street vendors were relocated to the market.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
== Preservation ==
The São Brás Market is managed by Belém City Hall through the Municipal Secretariat for the Economy (Secon). The São Brás Market Architectural and Landscape Complex was listed as a historical heritage site by the Pará State Heritage Department on July 2, 1982. The building is currently suffering from poor maintenance by the public authorities. There are evident signs of deterioration in the space, with problems such as leaks in the walls and an accumulation of garbage. Despite the intense flow of people, the area around the building lacks security, which has led to frequent assaults and thefts in Floriano Peixoto Square, located near the market. The poor state of repair of the square also directly affects the market, as it is used as a shelter by homeless people.<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal |last=Souza |first=Joelma Silmone |last2=Campos |first2=Raul |last3=Costa |first3=Maria Augusta |title=Da Belle Époque ao abandono: o Mercado de São Brás como patrimônio histórico e atrativo turístico de Belém-PA |url=https://www.seer.ufal.br/index.php/...escrição arquitetônica foi,21 de maio de 1911. |journal=RITUR |doi=10.2436/20.8070.01.183 |issn=2236-6040}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Campelo |first=Lilian |date=2017-07-05 |title=Mercado de São Brás em Belém está abandonado pelo poder público |url=https://www.brasildefato.com.br/201...s-em-belem-esta-abandonado-pelo-poder-publico |access-date=2024-05-02 |website=Brasil de Fato}}</ref><ref name=":1" />
