The São Francisco Cultural Center is an architectural complex made up of the Church of St. Francis, the Convent of St. Anthony, the Chapel of the Third Order of St. Francis, the Chapel of St. Benedict, the House of Prayer of the Third, the Cloister of the Third Order, a fountain and a large churchyard with a cruise. This Cultural Center is one of the most remarkable legacies of the Baroque in Brazil.
It all began at the end of the 16th century with the construction of the Convent of St. Anthony. In the first half of the seventeenth century it was occupied by the Dutch troops. The works of recovery and enlargement were only carried out after the expulsion of the Dutch. It then functioned as a convent, college, seminary, State Museum, State School and Theater School.
Today the Center includes a gallery-museum of folk art, a sacred art museum, the Stone Gallery, exhibition and event spaces, a restoration center and a library.

O Centro Cultural São Francisco é um conjunto arquitetônico constituído pela Igreja de São Francisco, o Convento de Santo Antônio, a Capela da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco, a Capela de São Benedito, a Casa de Oração dos Terceiros, o Claustro da Ordem Terceira, uma fonte e um grande adro com um cruzeiro. Este Centro Cultural é um dos mais notáveis legados do Barroco no Brasil.
Tudo começou no final do século XVI com a construção do Convento de Santo Antônio. Na primeira metade do século XVII ele foi ocupado pelas tropas holandesas. As obras de recuperação e ampliação só foram levadas a cabo após a expulsão dos holandeses. Funcionou, então, como convento, colégio, seminário, Museu do Estado, Escola Estadual e Escola de Teatro.
Hoje o Centro inclui uma galeria-museu de arte popular, um museu de arte sacra, a Galeria de Pedra, espaços de exposições e eventos, um centro de restauro e uma biblioteca.

"We really enjoyed our two-night stay at Pousada Anauê. The place was extremely clean, very well-maintained, and overall very relaxing. The pool was pleasant, and the breakfast in the morning, although described as continental, was actually much more than that. It included eggs, meats, cakes, fruits, fresh juices, coffee—essentially a full homemade breakfast that was delicious. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we also appreciated being allowed a late check-out at no extra charge. We’d...

BA'RA Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the Bara Hotel was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and very well maintained you can feel the care they put into every detail. The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully prepared. The bed was extremely cozy, the shower had great water pressure, and everything worked perfectly. I also loved the breakfast fresh, delicious, with plenty of options. The location is excellent and safe, with easy access to everything I needed. The hotel feels peaceful and organized, which made my stay even better. I highly recommend Bara Hotel. It’s a place where you feel cared for, relaxed, and very welcome. I would definitely stay here again! "

HCM - Hotel corais de Manaíra

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely gorgeous location. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Room was very clean and daily refresh was seamless. Rooftop bar and pool were amazing! Fun vibe at night with DJ and great during the day as well. Right on the beach, and central location gives easy access to the peninsula as well as beaches to the south. Highly recommend."
