Maurício de Nassau Bridge

Historical and cultural context

Historic crossing along the axis of one of the first great bridges of the Dutch period, today a central element of the river landscape. Meu Recife places the site within the editorial thread “Recife · bridges · rivers”. This reading first establishes the documented cultural role, then keeps it separate from mutable hours, admission and exhibition programming.
