Marco Zero Monument

Surrounded by a broad square and a labyrinth of narrow streets the Marco Zero Monument is located close to the waterfront and is often referred to simply as "Marco Zero". The landmark, in the district of Old Recife, is the starting point of the roads that cross the state, established in 1938 by the Automobile Club of Pernambuco.

The square, famous for Marco Zero in Recife, boasts a bust of the Baron of Rio Branco, since 1938, when it was renamed Rio Branco Square. The site, with shady trees and benches, is a favorite of those who like to admire the view of the mansions of Old Recife. The square was remodeled recently and has gained a modern design. From Marco Zero, you can see the former Bath House, now converted into a bar. Those looking for a different program can cross the strait and reach the bar by boat.

Just a short distance to the north lies the Rua Bom Jesus, who also goes by the name of Rua dos Judeus (Jews' Street), due to the high concentration of Jewish businesses that appeared here during the Dutch rule of the 17th century.
