🎧 Listen to Introduction
Founded by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the town's history is closely tied to the sugar cane industry. The town was rebuilt after being plundered by the Dutch, and its basic urban structure dates back to the 18th century. The harmonious balance between buildings, gardens, 20 baroque churches, monasteries and numerous chapels all add to Olinda's unique charm.
