Culture vultures interested in architecture will have their appetites satisfied by much of the historical property in Fortaleza, it has been suggested.
The city in Ceara, North East Brazil was the subject of an article written by New Yorker Ernest Barteldes that appeared in the Brasilians.
In the piece, the freelancer claimed that "there is a lot that can be seen of the city's history through its architecture", whether it be the Passeio Peblico centred around a rare baobab tree or the Victorian Teatro Jose de Alencar, a stage for much of the region's classical music concerts.
Mr Barteldes also referred to the Santa Casa de Misericordia hospital - built in the 1860s - and the Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora de Assuncao, an 1812 building on the site of Fortaleza's birth place, the old Fort Schoonenborch.
Other noted buildings in Fortaleza not mentioned by Mr Barteldes include the Mucuripe lighthouse, Joao Felipe Station and the Acuri Music School.
