The Monumento à Rendeira (Lace Maker Monument) is a tribute to the bobbin lace tradition of Florianópolis, particularly within the Lagoa da Conceição community. Bobbin lace, or *renda de bilro*, is a delicate and intricate art form brought to Santa Catarina by Azorean immigrants in the 18th century. The monument, located in Praça da Lagoa Bento Silvério, features a sculpture of a woman creating lace, an homage to the women who have historically practiced this craft. Lace making has been a significant part of the region's cultural identity and economy. Traditionally, women would work at home, creating lace to supplement the family income. The craft involves using bobbins (*bilros*) to interlace threads around pins on a cushion, following a pattern. The designs range from simple to elaborate, and the lace is used to embellish clothing, linens, and other items. Today, while the economic role of lace making has evolved, it remains an important cultural symbol. The monument serves as a reminder of the Azorean heritage and the contributions of women to the region's history. Visitors can also explore the Lagoa da Conceição area, where they can find shops selling locally made lace and learn more about this traditional craft.
