POÇO DA PANELA

It is an area where you can admire houses and sobrados from the 19th century, when the area was popular with the population as a holiday resort. Its lands belonged to theengenho Casa Forte. There was only a small village with a few houses. Doctors began to advise the members of the richest families to go there, because the Capibaribe River that flowed there could have medicinal properties. The rich families of Recife started to build sobrados. The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Saúde (1820) can also be seen here.
