Farroupilha Park (''Parque Farroupilha'' in Portuguese), also known as ''Parque da Redenção'', is a major urban park in the city of Porto Alegre, the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. The park was designed by French architect Alfred Agache and founded in September 19, 1935. Near to the ''Centro Histórico'' (Historic Centre), Farroupilha Park is located within a polygon formed by José Bonifácio, João Pessoa, Luiz Englert, Setembrina and Osvaldo Aranha Avenues. ==History== The site where the park is located was formerly called ''Várzea do Portão'', a large flooded lowlands close to the old gate to Porto Alegre. On February 23, 1807, the City Council requested the Governor of the Province, Paulo José da Silva Gama, to donate the land to be used as public area, as well as a focus area for herds of cattle brought for local supply. However, its measurement would only be effectively carried out between 1820 and 1825. After its donation to the city, it suffered several attempts of alteration of its primary goals, which have always been hindered by the government. During the Ragamuffin War the Várzea was outside the city's fortifications, and after the end of the conflict an inspection found several irregularities, such as fences advancing their territory and built a mansion at its center, all was immediately demolished. In the years that followed, government and private individuals tried to split the ground to give it other uses, always finding opposition. In 1870, the Lowland received its first official name, changing its name to ''Campo do Bonfim'', in view of the construction of Capela do Bonfim (Lord Jesus Chapel of the Good End, Chapel Bonfim) on its northern boundary. There were also subsequent threats to the integrity of the area, all frustrated, and in 1872 the President of the Province authorized the construction of a military base in its southeastern limit, being the source of the current Colégio Militar de Porto Alegre (Military School of Porto Alegre). The site was also used as a drying area for leather, a meeting place for carts and as a deposit of the municipal waste until mid-1890, in spite of contrary opinions Hygiene of the Board of the Province. In 1884 the street had its name changed to''Campos da Redenção'' (Fields of Redemption), celebrating the early abolition of slavery in the city. In 1927, the actual landscaping of the Campos da Redenção began, with the implementation of the ''Jardim Paulo Gama'' garden to the north and the banning of the parade of carts and herds in 1928. In 1935 for the centenary celebrations of the ''Revolução Farroupilha'' (Ragamuffin War), the entire southern part of the field was drained, flushed and urbanized, following the designs of French architect Alfred Agache. This year its name was changed to its current name ''Parque Farroupilha''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Farroupilha Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
