Description

The courtyard of Santo Antonio church in Recife, Pernambuco. Lavish churches, mansions and public buildings were built in Brazil during the sugar cycle. Landowners imported the finest products from Europe and the Far East, and decorations of their mansions rivaled those of European nobles. Competition from the Caribbean region and oscillating international prices gradually reduced the demand for sugar after the middle of the Eighteenth century.O pátio da igreja de Santo António em Recife, Pernambuco.
