The Siqueira Campos Square (Portuguese: Praça Siqueira Campos) or Clock Square (Praça do Relógio) is a public space located at the Ver-o-Peso Dock, in the Cidade Velha neighborhood, in the Brazilian city of Belém, capital of Pará. The site, which is known for housing a huge English clock, comprises a total area of 2,727.45m², 1,246.78m² of paved area and 1,480.67m² of green area.[1][2]

History

The site chosen for the square was a vacant lot that became known as Praça dos Aliados (English: Allies Square) after the demolition of the building that existed on the area. The name comes from Lieutenant Siqueira Campos, a soldier who fought in the Copacabana Fort Revolt.[3][4]

The monument in the center of the square is a clock built in 1930 by the English company J.W. Benson. and donated by Intendant Antonio Faciola. It measures 12 meters high, is made of iron and features four lamps in a central clock.[3][5]

The square also has four old iron lampposts made by Macfarlaine in 1893. Due to the 1930 Revolution, Eurico Vale and Antonio Faciola were deposed and were unable to inaugurate the work. Major Joaquim de Magalhães Cardoso Barata, Governor of Pará, and Father Leandro Pinheiro, Belém's Intendant, were present at the event.[6][7]

Over the decades, the square has undergone several restorations. In 1988, the clock was repaired in order to return to regular operation, and in 1994, the site received new paintwork on the clock and the lampposts. Until 2020, the siren and its illuminated pointers were not working, but the City Hall had announced the revitalization of the place.[8][1]

Historical heritage
