Fortaleza编年史

Fortaleza was founded in 1649 by the Portuguese, who named it after the National Shrine of Our Lady of Assumption, a Benedictine convent built in 1603. The city's colonial architecture is characterised by its white-washed buildings, ornate fountains and cobblestone streets. As the capital of the state of Ceará, Fortaleza has a rich cultural identity shaped by African, European and indigenous influences. The city's iconic drag race, the Forró, has been held annually since 1958, attracting thousands of revellers. Fortaleza is also known for its vibrant Afro-Brazilian cultural scene, with numerous museums, galleries and festivals celebrating the region's African heritage.
