About Centro Histórico de Taperoá
The Centro Histórico de Taperoá preserves streets and buildings that help to recognize the formation of the city of Cariri. The historic houses and the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição make up the urban landscape. The matriz stands out among the religious references of the historic core.
Ariano Suassuna lived part of his childhood in Taperoá and recreated references to the city in his work. The heritage walk can follow this memory, observing the layout of the streets and the facades. The Casa Museu Ariano Suassuna has its own collection and deserves a separate stop.
The walk takes place through public spaces, with the route chosen according to the group's time and mobility. Entry to a temple or private building depends on the organization of those who receive visitors. On hot days, schedule breaks and carry water for the walking section.
