July Nine Square

Praça Nove de Julho

Opened in 1918, was known to the promenade, then Square Five July and finally Square Nine July, after the Constitutional Revolution of 1932. He went through several renovations since its inception. In 1925 was a wide open field, without leisure. Ten years later it was urbanized, with the construction of a gazebo, benches and a beginning of afforestation. In 1952, already with the light source, the square had malls and some current characteristics. The major redevelopment, however, occurred in the 1990s, with the exchange floor, the recovery of the source, construction of the Mario Celestino Teixeira Arena Theatre, toilets and landscaping. In addition to the recreation area with tables for practicing and playing board games. Today, the square serves as pedestrian circulation environment that go to the downtown to work, shopping and business, a meeting place for students, seniors who will enjoy the table games and serenades, plays and lectures in the arena theater. A new reform was made in 2013, maintaining its original features and redesigned landscaping.

San Sebastian Cathedral
Catedral de São Sebastião
San Sebastian Cathedral was an old dream of perpetual vicar of Presidente Prudente, Father Jose Maria Martinez Sarrion. So in 1927 he decided to create a commission to leave the field in an attempt to raise funds, made up of members of prominent families at the time: Armelin, Tenorio de Barros, Peretti, Toledo, Franco de Godoy and others. The Church of the plant was made by Francisco Oroz, construction directed and performed by Francisco Grotto and idealized by Luiz Mesquita. The curious thing occurs in the plant design, cross-shaped. The works began two years after the commission formed. Completed in 1949, the church became pride of the city and reference point. The project also had the goal of becoming the seat of the diocese, which occurred in 1961.

Among the changes was the change of name of the Mantiqueira Street to Washington Luis, who was president of the State and candidate for the presidency. But after Washington Luís be deposed, the name was changed to President Joao Pessoa. It was only in 1937 that the street was renamed Lieutenant Nicholas Maffei, who was part of the Constitutionalist army of Presidente Prudente and went forward operations under the command of Colonel Miguel Brisola de Oliveira. He was killed in combat in Ribeirópolis September 22, 1932, hit on the head by a rifle bullet. Maffei was still buried by the enemy itself, which gave him military honors recognizing his bravery. In 1979 it was built "pedestrian street" in the initial five blocks. The Maffei was closed to cars and reformed to facilitate the movement of prudentinos in the city center, and above all, to foster trade. In 2009 the Boardwalk received his first retirement after 30 years, adapting it to the current town planning legislation.
