The Evolution of the Greater Recife Through Cartography
Main Article Content
Abstract
The cartography can tell the story of a people, a city, and a country. The historic maps are related to events that mark
an era. This research was aimed at recovering the cartography of Recife to show the process of creating the city. Recife
was founded by the Portuguese and later dominated by the Dutch. The maps show us how happened the Dutch domain
in Recife and the rescue of the city by Brazilians, still in the Portuguese domain. The methodology used was based on
literature search and collection of ancient cartographic documents. The result is an exhibition with the cartographic
visualization of the evolution of a people and one of Brazil’s main cities.
