Castelo Do Mar Ruins Castle

The castle-fortress Castelo do Mar ruins is the main city attraction. It is now considered a historical monument of Brazil. The first building of the castle was built in 1615. It was built of straw and wood and was called the Fort of Christmas. Until the twentieth century, he changed his name several times. The castle was created to protect the city from raids. It currently houses a history museum.

There are two major exhibitions in the museum. One is related to the ancient past of the castle. The museum houses artifacts collected by scientists for two decades. There are coins, jewelry, antique toothbrushes and pipes, clay jugs and plates. Another exhibition is related to the construction of the city. In the halls of the museum are paintings and photographs, which depict the first leaders, as well as ordinary builders and workers. To this day, the walls of a small chapel have been preserved near the castle. Entrance to the castle is free.
