Cidade do Recife
Bairro de Poço da Panela
"This neighborhood emerged around the 18th century, belonging to the lands of the Casa Forte sugar mill. At first, it was a simple village amidst large sugar cane plantations. However, from 1746 onwards, this profile began to change. At that time, a major cholera epidemic took over Recife and some doctors announced that bathing in the stretch of the Capibaribe River that ran through the village during the summer was a miraculous remedy for the disease. The news spread very quickly and caused this region to become a popular destination for the wealthy of Recife, who soon built large summer houses there."
