It's a nice enough place, by the coast as well so nice and open. But apart from having a look at it, there's not much else to do in the area. But it's not far from some more of the historic neighbourhoods so it's okay for a short detour.

Most of the buildings need repair. It seems that the place was abbandoned for a long time and just now some places are being repainted. It's nice for the history, but nothing special.

Tourists not to miss “Marco Zero” which is one of the most visited area of Old Recife. Look closely at the bronze plate which says "The distances are measured in Recife from that point".
Most important events like Carnival celebrations, political rallies, election rallies are held around this area. .
Do look at the old buildings for architectural interest, restaurants...

The place where everything began. The only problem are the boring street vendors. Excellent point to take pictures.
