The park is located at the site where the prince regent of Brazil, the future Emperor Pedro I, proclaimed the country's independence in 1822.[1] The main attractions within the park are the Ipiranga Museum and the Monument to the Independence of Brazil (where Pedro I and his two wives are interred),[2] also known as the Ipiranga Monument or the Altar of the Fatherland.
