Historical and cultural context

17th century temple built by brown men and linked to one of the first Brazilian devotions to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Meu Recife places the site within the editorial thread “Olinda · brotherhoods · resistance”. This reading first establishes the documented cultural role, then keeps it separate from mutable hours, admission and exhibition programming.
