Recife, city and harbor in the northeast of Brazil, it’s the capital of Pernambuco State, near the Atlantic Ocean. The Capibaribe river bathes all the city; for this reason it is called “The Brazilian Venice”. Nevertheless, its peculiar bridges follow a dutch design, having been built during Mauricio de Nassau Government.
