BRAZIL - Amazonia - Belem
Belem is located on the Bay of Guajara on Para river which is formed by a set of islands and river mouths on the mouth of the Amazon river and is the capital and largest city of the state of Para. The city was established in 1616, after the construction of "Forte do Castelo" on the banks the Para river. In a way, Belém is a synthesis of the culture of the Portuguese with the indigenious cultures native to the Para region of the Amazon, especially in the cuisine. It became an extremely wealthy city with the Rubber Boom at the end of the 19th century and many beautiful colonial buildings from this era are still visible.
Every year in the second Sunday of October, Círio de nossa Senhora de Nazaré, more commonly called Cirio de Nazaré, is celebrated in Belem. It is one of the largest catholic processions in the world.
