Instituto Ricardo Brennand

The Instituto Ricardo Brennand opened in 2002 after its namesake collector spent decades growing one of the largest armory collections in the world. Brennand also enjoyed sourcing artworks and artifacts concerning Brazilian history, contributing to his eagerness to establish a museum. In 1990, this vision for his collection became reality in the form of the Instituto Ricardo Brennand, which displays pieces from several continents dating between the 15th and 21st centuries. Highlights include myriad melee weapons and a private collection of works by Dutch artist Frans Post. Beyond the museum and art gallery, visitors can also enjoy a library and large park at this premier cultural institute.

Basilica and Monastery of St. Benedict

São Bento Monastery was built in 1599 as the second Benedictine monastery in Brazil. It was destroyed when the Dutch colonizers arrived in Pernambuco around 1632, but was then reconstructed and opened again in 1640. It is one of the masterpieces of the baroque style in Olinda, and both the monastery and adjacent church are UNESCO World Heritage sites. In the interior you will find many works of art like the beautiful paintings that represent the life of Saint Benedict as well as the impressive old furnishings of the 17th century.

Santa Isabel Theater

Opened in 1850 in honor of Princess Isabel, the Santa Isabel Theater is considered by some architects as the most beautiful theater of the Brazilian Imperial era. The charming building mixes its original neo-classical architecture with modernity. The use of technology allowed the theater to be refurbished to offer more comfort to its guests while keeping the beautiful original construction.

Joaquim Nabuco Foundation

Joaquim Nabuco Foundation, formerly known as the Joaquim Nabuco Institute, is a goverment institution for the preservation of Brazil's cultural and historic legacy regarding Joaquim Nabuco's work. Here you will find the Homem do Nordeste Museum, the José Carlos Cavalcanti Borges Movie Theater, the Baobá Gallery, the Vicente do Rego Monteiro Gallery and six other places for cultural and historical subjects. Foundation also offers rental spaces for cultural events, reprints of old documents, and digitalization of texts and pictures, most of which are available at the official website.

Marco Zero

Located in the Bairro do Recife neighborhood, where the first people to explore Recife settled, Marco Zero is the city's foundation landmark. It is the initial point for all Pernambuco's roads, and is set in the middle of Praça Rio Branco, an open-plan square that often hosts arts exhibitions, concerts and Recife's biggest cultural events. The place is right next to Rio Capibaribe river bank, offering views of the Parque das Esculturas sculptures and to the best of old Recife city.

Aurora Street

Rua da Aurora is a street that is mainly on the left bank of the Capibaribe River. Its name, meaning "break of dawn," comes from the fact that all of its houses are east-facing, with a view of the sunrise. This street is a common picture on Recife postcards due to its beauty. Here you will find many houses where famous local families lived, various neoclassical buildings including the former home of the President of Pernambuco Province, the Parliament of Pernambuco and Ginásio Pernambucano, a traditional school founded in 1825.
