Independência Avenue (Porto Alegre)

It starts at Dom Feliciano Square, in the historic center of the city, and ends at Mostardeiro Street, in the Independência neighborhood, as a continuation of the Rua da Praia.

At this point, the route was deviated, skirting the limits of Chácara da Brigadeira, property of Josefa Eulália de Azevedo, widow of Brigadier Rafael Pinto Bandeira, and the rains opened large ditches, hindering traffic.

In 1845, the City Council ordered its attorney to effect the judicial alignment of the Mills of Wind Road according to the urban plan drawn by the municipal planner, and to provide for the repair of damaged stretches.

After the Proclamation of the Republic, major investments were made to pave its entire length, which, at the time, reached the current Júlio de Castilhos Square.

[6][7] On Independência Avenue are also located part of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia, the traditional Nossa Senhora do Rosário School, the Our Lady of the Conception Church, and the Beneficência Portuguesa.
