The Beautiful Decaying Mansions of São Luís

ByAndrew

This video is in Portuguese, and from 1996. Nevertheless, watching it will give you a good feel for the decadent majesty of the old Portuguese mansions of São Luís. I’m happy to report that since this video a good number of these ancient structures have been restored and are now in use by either private or public entities. More are slated for restoration.

Fun fact: 1996 was the year I started dating São Luís’s most beautiful resident.
