Casa das Onze Janelas
A contemporary art gallery converted from an 18th-century sugar plantation owner's house, with a riverside terrace restaurant overlooking the sunset and a decommissioned warship.
Casa das Onze Janelas was once the house of an 18th-century sugar plantation owner and was later used as a military hospital. It takes its name from the eleven windows on its façade, and today it is a contemporary art space showing works by Brazilian and Amazonian artists. The garden behind the house faces Guajará Bay, where a decommissioned naval vessel is moored, and the terrace restaurant is a good place to watch the sunset. Admission is cheap or free; closed on Mondays.
