Definitely worth a visit. Shows how Spanish Jews, exiled in 1492, fled to Portugal. When the Inquisition came to Portugal thousands made the long journey to Brazil ...There in the port town they built this historic Synagogue. Then the inquisition came to Brazil. Many of those Jews who did not convert or were still persecuted as "New Christians" went to New Amsterdam (later N ew Yor City) where the Dutch gave all comers (including Quakers, Hugenaugt, Protestants, etc. safe haven & protection against religious persecution. The synagogue fell into disrepair and Jew Street where it was located became a slum. Onl,y recently, the banker Safra financed the restoration and Jew Street, Now Good Jesus (Rua Bom Jesus) Street has become a lively tourist destination, walking distance from the cruise boat docks.

The Carmelites priests started the construction their church in 1696, being it inaugurated only in 1767. It honors Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the Holy Patroness of Recife. The church was built in the baroque architectural style and is one of the most beautiful churches in Northeastern Brazil. It was totally restored and reinaugurated in 2001, with the enhancement of its great paintings, ceilings, images and gilt carving finishes. Nevertheless, due to the city's high humidity level, it again needs some renovation efforts. As it is downtown, in the Santo Antônio Quarter, check the Basilica opening hours before going and use taxis at all times, principally if you are visiting it alone. Enjoy!
