Historic center of Manaus, Historical heritage district in Centro, Manaus, Brazil.

The historic center contains buildings with French-inspired architecture, including mansions, squares, churches, a theater, and a marketplace constructed during the rubber boom period.

In 1856, the settlement received the name Manaus in honor of the Manáos indigenous nation, known as Mother of Gods and the most influential ethnic group.

The Municipal Market Adolpho Lisboa, built in 1883, serves as a central trading point for traditional Amazonian products, herbs, fish, and local handicrafts.

The district connects to the Port of Manaus, which adapts to the water levels throughout the year and functions as a departure point for river excursions.

The area features the Teatro Amazonas, built in 1896, with a dome containing 36,000 tiles painted in Brazilian national colors imported from Europe.
