Brazilian Colonial Architecture Stock Photography

Typical old constructions of the Brazilian Colonial Architecture, here in a photography of Alcantara town, Maranhao Satte. Alcantara was founded by French explorers in the 16th century and was later conquered by the Portuguese, who used the small village as a base to take São Luís, the near State Capital from the Dutch in 1646. The city was declared by the Brazilian government as a National Historical Patrimony. The Brazilian Space Agency maintains a launch site in Alcântara.
