Fonte da Memoria
The Memory Fountain includes a large bronze horse head statue atop a fountain, which was sculpted by Ricardo Tod to honor the immigrants who would come downtown in order sell their produce and general products. Their horses would drink from the fountain placed at Largo da Ordem where a large open market still takes place every Sunday. This is part of the historical sector and thus has many other older buildings, sculptures and squares nearby. Also nearby in the Sacred Art Museum of Curitiba with 800 religious artifacts on display. This is also the area where the Festival of Curitiba takes place, during the end of March and beginning of April for roughly two weeks.
