João Pessoa replaces protective glass on Iemanjá statue

The City Hall of João Pessoa has completed maintenance on the protective glass of the Iemanjá statue located in Cabo Branco. The monument's protection was recently vandalized during a fight between two men, who were identified via the city's Smart City camera system and subsequently detained.

Through the Secretariat of Infrastructure (Seinfra), the statue has been fitted with new 8mm colorless glass featuring a PS4 protective film. According to Seinfra's works director, João Esteves, the new material is more resistant to impact, capable of withstanding up to 80kg without shattering.

The Iemanjá Square underwent extensive revitalization and was delivered to the public in September 2025, serving as a space for cultural, religious, and sporting activities.
