Ruínas do Abarebebê, Religious ruins in Peruíbe, Brazil.

The stone and clay ruins contain foundations of walls, structural elements, and archaeological remains of a former Jesuit church from colonial times.

The construction dates from 1550 when Jesuits established the São João Batista settlement, making it one of the first religious buildings in Brazil.

The site name Abarebebê originates from Tupi language, referring to Father Leonardo Nunes who led religious education for indigenous communities.

The archaeological site opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with advance reservations required for group visits.

The ruins house the Leonardo Nunes Room, which displays temporary exhibitions about the regional colonial period and indigenous heritage.
