About Casario histórico de Belmonte
Belmonte's historic casario brings together buildings linked to port activity and the cocoa cycle. The Jequitinhonha riverbank is part of the ensemble: goods and vessels moved along it, while urban buildings served commercial and residential functions. The walk helps to read the relationship between the river and the town.
On public streets, observe doors, windows, ornaments and differences between facades. The manor houses do not form a museum with uniform access; there are private and administrative properties. The proposed experience is exterior and does not include entry into each building. Photograph without blocking doors and respect residents. The stretch along the river allows you to compare the facades with the former port front, observing the link between the warehouses and the port riverbank.
