If you follow Av. Dantas Barreto (Santo Antônio’s main street) you’ll pass Recife’s cathedral and its most interesting market. The cathedral was built in 1782 and has a beautiful wood façade and a painted inner ceiling. What makes the cathedral even more interesting to visit is the cobblestone square surrounding it. Patio de São Pedro in São José is a bohemian center where musicians play folk music, artists draw and paint and poets read their poems. There are restaurants, shops and bars – all painted in pastel shades – in the square too. The Old World Mercado de São José is housed in a beautiful cast-iron building that was brought here from France. The stalls sell produce, herbs and local handicrafts.
