Recife, the capital of Pernambuco state, is one of Brazil's largest cities and an important cultural center in the country's northeastern region. Founded by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century, the city is known for its historic architecture, including well-preserved colonial buildings and churches. The city's name comes from the reef formations ("recifes" in Portuguese) that line its coast.
Recife's cultural landscape is shaped by a rich blend of Portuguese, African, and indigenous influences, evident in its music, art, and traditions. The city hosts significant cultural events throughout the year, including the Carnival, which showcases the local frevo dance style. The historic neighborhood of Recife Antigo (Old Recife) features museums, galleries, and cultural centers that preserve and celebrate the city's heritage. The region's artistic scene is complemented by modern cultural institutions and a vibrant contemporary arts movement.
