Description: Memorial Arabe

At Claudino dos Santos Street – São Francisco. Opens from Monday to Friday, from 9AM to 6PM, and on Saturdays, 9AM to 1PM. Celebrating the Middle-Eastern culture, it works as a specialized library. The building reminds of the architectural style of the Moorish buildings, with elements such as the vault, the columns, the arches and the stained glass windows. With just over 140 square meters of built area, the Memorial has a cube shape and is placed over a water mirror. Inside the building, there is a sculpture over a marble base representing the writer Gibran Kalil Gibran. It is located at Gibran Khalil Gibran Square - Center.

This memorial is also next to the Passeio Publico park which has a small zoo and aquarium within the park.  Since the park is next door to this memorial, it is worth visiting while you are in the neighbourhood.  Several musuems are within a few blocks of the park, including the Alfredo Andersen Museum and Photography Museum of the City of Curitiba.
