🎧 Listen to Introduction
This historic city was founded by the French in the late 17th century, occupied by the Dutch and then ruled by the Portuguese. Its core area has completely preserved its original rectangular street layout. Due to the economic stagnation in the early 20th century, a large number of fine historical buildings have been preserved, making it an outstanding example of an Iberian colonial town.
