  1. A

    Casa da Cultura

    This place is a creepy colonial-era prison with shops in cells where prisoners languished until 1973 (cell 106 is preserved as it was). Pernambuco’s traditional handicrafts, such as clay figurines, wood sculptures, lace and leather goods, plus plenty of T-shirts, can be found here.

  2. B

    Paço Alfândega

    Converted into a glitzy shopping mall, this 19th-century customs house is worth a pop in for a cafezinho (small coffee). It is located on Recife Antigo’s southern waterfront.
