Mucuripe Lighthouse |
Built between 1840 and 1846 following the architectonical tendencies of the
baroque style, “Farol de Mucuripe” is made with iron and masonry. The construction, considered the oldest of Fortaleza, was the responsible
for guiding the embarkations, keeping the nickname of “Olho do Mar” (sea’s eye). Today, it hosts “Museu Histórico de Fortaleza”, a memorial
about the city’s development.
