Sítio Trindade, Heritage monument in Casa Amarela, Recife, Brazil.

Sítio Trindade is a 6.5-hectare green site in Casa Amarela, Recife, entered from Estrada do Arraial and Estrada do Encanamento. Its grounds hold the Chalé Trindade Peretti, a 600 m² manor house now used for cultural activities. No fortification stands today: the old Arraial do Bom Jesus fort is marked by an obelisk and plaques, one noting the Instituto Archeológico's 1922 commemoration.

The site functioned as Fort Arraial do Bom Jesus during the 17th century Dutch invasion, serving as a defensive stronghold against foreign occupation. Following the end of the occupation, local families took control and developed the land into a residential property.

The name comes from the Trindade Peretti family, who reoccupied the old Arraial Velho grounds after the Dutch were expelled. In May 1960 the site became headquarters of the Movimento de Cultura Popular, gathering Paulo Freire, Ariano Suassuna, Abelardo da Hora, José Cláudio and Francisco Brennand for adult literacy work. During the June and Christmas periods the grounds host quadrilhas, pastoril and regional food stalls.

The site has two entrances, the main one on Estrada do Arraial and another on Estrada do Encanamento. Its 6.5 hectares of green area are open to the public and used for walks throughout the year. The Chalé Trindade Peretti, a 600 m² mansion, houses artistic activities. Look for the two plaques and the obelisk commemorating 30 January 1922.

No fortification remains visible today: the fort was taken in 1635 and the ground later passed to the Trindade Peretti family. What a visitor can spot are two plaques and an obelisk from 30 January 1922, one reading that the Forte Arraial do Bom Jesus (Arraial Velho) stood here from 1630 to 1635, placed by the Instituto Archeologico.
