Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Adriano Plotzky anchors SAL at the Centro Náutico Penedo on the Rio São Francisco and spends a day exploring Penedo, Alagoas — a city of over 60,000 built on 130-million-year-old sedimentary rock, founded between 1522 and 1560 and historically known as the "Atenas Alagoana" for its role as a regional center of education and culture.Watch The city's riverfront integrates canoe ramps, public parks, and a flood-protection dike road.3:06 Plotzky walks 1.5 km each way to a gym, folding his daily exercise routine into the exploration.0:46 He visits the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Corrente — a small, privately built church he ranks as Penedo's most beautiful — along with the Teatro 7 de Setembro, a 19th-century wooden-interior theater designed by Italian architect Luigi Luccarini, and the 1895 cast-iron Mercado Público, once the commercial hub of the lower São Francisco trading goods between Recife and Salvador.20:17 A Franciscan convent, partly built from the same bedrock as the city itself, held a library with German-language books and multiple Bibles.30:36 Dutch forces occupied Penedo briefly but were forced to surrender in 1645 because the hilltop rock offered no soil to rebuild their fort's eroding walls.31:11 Dom Pedro II's visit to the city is noted as a state event signaling national interest in the river corridor.22:37
