Independence Park (Portuguese: Parque da Independência) is an urban park in the Ipiranga district of São Paulo, Brazil. 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.
