Jaraguá Historic District
Jaraguá
Maceió's old port district, where 19th-century sugar warehouses and merchant buildings have been restored into cultural venues and a nightlife area.
Jaraguá was the port where Maceió's story began, and it prospered in the 19th century by exporting sugar. It retains rows of neoclassical warehouses, the Commercial Association building and the old customs house. After restoration, the district has galleries, cultural centres and bars, with live music in the evenings, and the Museum of Image and Sound is nearby. Daytime is good for strolling and photographing the old buildings. At night, go in a group and take a ride-hailing car to and from the area.
