Belém - Brazil
by Eloi Raiol 12 9
|
The capital of the state of Pará, Belém is the main doorway to the eastern side of the Amazon rainforest. While its 1.4-million population is significant, the ‘City of mango trees' also offers dazzling, authentic sights of Amazonian nature.
Belém was first founded in 1616, right on the convergence of rivers Pará and Guamá. That was where the Forte do Presépio (Crèche Fort), which is still one of the city's landmarks, was established. Several other displays of colonial architecture from the 17th and 18thcenturies have also been revitalised and are among the city's attractions, such as the the appealing Mercado Ver-o-Peso (Check-the-weight market), which is one of the largest open markets in the world, with 5,000 workers, where the visitors mingle with locals to get a true taste of everything that is typical from the region, from fruit like the açaí to a number of spices and herbs.
