Jesuits' Well, Historical water well in Guarapari, Brazil
The stone structure stands near the coast, featuring a deep shaft constructed with colonial masonry techniques and protective barriers around its perimeter.
Portuguese Jesuit missionaries built this water supply system around 1600 as part of their settlement infrastructure in the Guarapari region.
The well represents the engineering methods of colonial Brazil and maintains protected status through the Espírito Santo State Council of Culture.
Located in central Guarapari, visitors can reach the site through guided walking tours that explain the well's construction and historical function.
The well remains structurally intact after four centuries, demonstrating the durability of 17th-century Portuguese colonial engineering in Brazil.
