Francisco Brennand Sculpture Park is located in the
district of Recife, in front of Ground Zero and bathed by the waters of the
Atlantic Ocean. A wonderful area, with dozens of small and medium-sized
sculptures that has, as the center of attention, the monument Coluna de Cristal
(Crystal Column), 32 meters high. Jobson Figueiredo realized the project and made
all bronze pieces of Master Brennand in the park.
The Sculpture Park brings the Brazilian fauna pieces, mythological figures and
panels with inscriptions. Much of Brennand imaginary is part of the path of who
runs the jetty and can capture the atmosphere and aesthetics of the artist.
Because of this, the park was quickly incorporated as a modern postcard of the
city of Recife.
