Rua da Aurora, Heritage street along Capibaribe River in Recife, Brazil
The street extends from Boa Vista Bridge to Limoeiro Bridge, following the left bank of the Capibaribe River with buildings facing east.
The area transformed from swampland to an urban street through landfill operations conducted between 1737 and 1746, marking the expansion of Recife.
The São Luiz Cinema, the Modern Art Museum, and the Pernambuco State Assembly represent the concentration of cultural institutions along the street.
Multiple transit options connect visitors to the street, with access points near major landmarks and regular bus services throughout the day.
Every building on the street faces east toward sunrise, which influenced its name Aurora, meaning dawn in Portuguese.
