The Ver-o-Peso Market, founded in the early 17th century, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Belém do Pará. Originally a colonial tax station, it became an important commercial hub and was officially structured in 1901 with an iron building imported from Europe. Located on the banks of Guajará Bay, it is one of the largest open-air markets in Latin America. Known for its vibrant mix of Amazonian products—such as fish, fruits, herbs, and crafts—it remains a symbol of Pará's culture and traditions.
