Petrolina is first of all a chapel surrounded by a few houses used as stopovers during the trips to the interior. Its name was given in honour of the Emperor Dom Perdro II, nothing to do with oil In a region with a very dry climate and arid lands, Petrolina is a miracle since its economy is based on the production of wine and tropical fruits. This is due to its proximity to the Rio São Francisco, from which an important network of irrigation channels is organized. Petrolina, with its 294 000 inhabitants, has a relatively modern face today. There are still some old buildings.
