Igreja de Santa Rita de Cassia: The Freed Pardos' Church

0:00 / 0:20
  • Cachaca, Sea, and the Tide-Washed Streets: Paraty is a colonial town built, on purpose, to be flooded. Follow the tide from the schooner pier through the mirror-bright streets and the cachaca heritage that floated out on them, up to the fort that watches the whole bay.
  • Four Churches, Four Castes: Paraty's postcard-perfect colonial grid is also a segregation map: four separate churches, four separate front doors, sorted by the color of your skin and your rank in a slave society. Walk them in order and the caste architecture under the whitewash becomes legible in stone.
