[manessha545]

Statue in Praia de Iracema, Iracema beach, Brazil: Iracema Beach owes its name to a famous character created by the local writer José de Alencar. This novel is a gripping love story between a Brazilian Indian woman (Iracema) and a Portuguese settler at the time of the conquest of Brazil (Martim Soares Moreno), a leader in the fight against the Dutch invasion. There are five Iracema sculptures in the city, one of them located on this beach: the iconic "Iracema Guardiana". Wikipedia
