- City tour in Olinda with a visit to Brennand Castle
Olinda, a colonial city founded in 1535, is made up of monasteries, convents, centuries-old churches, colorful houses, forts, a lighthouse, and lush greenery. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, it's a place worth remembering. The Francisco Brennand Atelier/Museum preserves the treasures of this unique artist—a ceramist, sculptor, designer, painter, tapestry maker, and illustrator—who remained faithful to his land and his art.
We begin our visit at the Francisco Brennand Atelier/Museum, a former pottery factory transformed into a unique space beloved by all who visit. Amidst beautiful gardens designed by landscaper Roberto Burle Marx, we'll have free time to explore every detail of this renowned artist's rich works—a true immersion in art surrounded by the lush nature of the Atlantic Forest.
Next, we head to Olinda, one of the most important historical cities of colonial Brazil. Every corner of Olinda holds its charm: the colorful colonial houses, the narrow streets and hills, the centuries-old churches steeped in history, and the residents chatting on the sidewalks. We also find beautiful gardens adorned with famous flamboyant trees, so celebrated in poetry and prose. The verdant, bucolic, and enchanting landscape brings us back to the history, beauty, and joy of this unforgettable city.
