The Monument Tortura Nunca Mais is a monument located in Padre Henrique plaza in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. It was conceived by the architect Demétrio Albuquerque . It was the first monument built in honor of the dead and disappeared during the military dictatorship.[1]
Its construction was the result of a public tendering made by Recife's city hall in 1988, which envisaged not only the construction of a monument which could represent the torture conditions and disrespect to human dignity to which the population was subjected during the Brazilian military government but also the revitalization of Recife since.[citation needed]
It was inaugurated on August 27, 1993, and it is, since then, considered to be one of the tourist attractions of Recife.[citation needed]
