The São Brás Market is a historic building located in the Brazilian city of Belém, in the state of Pará. It was built during the Amazon rubber cycle. Construction began on May 1, 1910, and was completed on May 21, 1911. The market was built to accommodate the large amount of trade generated by the Belém-Bragança Railway, whose last stop was in the São Brás neighborhood. It was also designed to expand the city's supply, which until then had been concentrated in the Ver-o-Peso Market.
