Hidden Gems of Recife

Recife’s historic center and outskirts contain significant architectural and cultural landmarks spanning from the Dutch occupation to the modern era. This collection features the Kahal Zur Israel, the first synagogue in the Americas, and the Golden Chapel’s elaborate 17th-century Baroque interiors. Artistic highlights include Francisco Brennand’s ceramic workshop and reef-side sculpture park, alongside Paço do Frevo, a space dedicated to UNESCO-recognized musical traditions. From the 19th-century ironwork of São José Market to a former prison repurposed as a craft center, these sites represent the city's diverse heritage.
