Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho is an avenue about 500 meters long in the Independência district of Porto Alegre in Brazil. It is famous for its more than a hundred native Tipuana trees, whose treetops touch each other and give the impression of a green tunnel or a green roof. The view from above is particularly impressive and familiar, as the avenue draws a green strip through an otherwise metropolitan high-rise landscape. The trees were planted in the 1930s by workers of a former brewery. The avenue is named after a Portuguese Dominican . In the new millennium, there were attempts by city planners to cut some of the trees to make way for a shopping center, which a citizens' initiative prevented. In 2006, the then Mayor, José Fogaça , declared the Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho part of the city's cultural heritage.
