Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Fortaleza, State of Ceara (CE)
May 22, 2022 Nicolette Lion
Beaches are the top draw in this sunny, rapidly developing city, particularly bohemian, party-hearty Iracema, family-friendly Meireles, fishing and boating base camp Mucuripe and low-key Praia do Futuro. Stalls at the Mercado Central or Feirinha Beira Mar brim with local handicrafts, ranging from ceramics to lacework and leather goods. The Dutch-built Fortress of Nossa Senhora da Assunção in the city center, constructed in 1649, marks the spot where Fortaleza originated.

Everyone welcomed me so wonderfully., the church is quite lovely and I was enthralled to hear the mass given in Portuguese.. it’s one of my favorite things to do when visiting!
