  • It is a church which preserves its original features. Only restorations are performed. Moments of great religiosity enchant the visitor.

  • I went a few days ago to the Patio of Sao Pedro and I tried to enter this beautiful baroque Cathedral. The door gave to see the Baroque without gold, only in carved wood, which gives a different air to the other baroque churches. But the bouncer at the door prohibited the entrance, saying that the Church was being renovated (in January 2017).

  • Situated in the courtyard of San Pietro which in itself is interesting and historic location with the old houses around. The Church is a chapter with their banks near the altar of carved wood and an architecture that's worth checking out.

Where to stay in Recife

It's no surprise that the vast majority of accommodations in Recife crowd around the city's long expanses of shorefront. Consider the southern coastal neighborhood of Boa Viagem for instant access to miles of vibrant beachfront, the prime location for locals and tourists alike to make the most of the sunshine. As well as high-end hotels and beach resorts, you can opt to stay in a range of fun, budget hostels, thanks to Recife's ever-growing popularity among backpackers. If you want something a bit quieter, look to the nearby historical town of Olinda, just 6 km (3.7) north of the city center. From there, you can easily make day--or night--trips to Recife proper.
