The giant bra of Juruaia.

The must-have photo of the Lingerie Capital of Brazil.

Quick answer

Juruaia's giant bra, the largest in Brazil as certified by RankBrasil, is in Praça Prefeito Benjamin Antônio, next to the Igreja Matriz. Nearby is the giant thong, a 2023 record.

Why a giant bra?

The monument celebrates the activity that transformed the town: intimate apparel. Since the 1990s, sewing has grown from home workshops into around 400 garment makers, and the bra has become a symbol of local pride. The giant thong came later, in 2023, as a new record.

Walking tour around the square

  2. Visit the Mother Church of São Sebastião (Saint Sebastian), the town's patron saint since the days of the Barra Mansa village.
