City - tour in Angra dos Reis

сити-тур в Ангре дос Рейс

The best day fir doing this tour is Sunday when downtown is not so crowded.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Lapa
Built by Baltazar Mendes de Araújo, in 1752, this church is situated beside our bus station. Nowadays, it also shelters the Museum of Sacred Art of Angra dos Reis.

Municipal Council Building
This building was raised at the turn of the century and was originally devised to work as the only prison of Angra dos Reis. It is situated at Nilo Peçanha Square, in the center of the town, and has suffered some modifications along the years, such as the opening of some spans and the construction of an external stairway at its front. The front of the building, by the way, faces the square and runs foremost while its back part faces a narrow street named Rua Arcebispo Santos.

The Fish Market

The Municipal Market, popularly known as Fish Market-Place, was built by local authorities in 1914, having been ideated by the engineer Rosalvo Mariano da Silva. This place was originally situated at the seaside, what facilitated the access of fishing-boats and the trim of the hold. However, a great extent of sea along our commercial center was covered with earth in the early 50’s and the building is nowadays far separate from the coast. Maybe for this very reason this place enjoys no longer the same popularity as in the past, being its stalls mostly occupied by small fishers. Recently the building was largely reformed.
