Big House Ideas Manaus

Local art works.

The Opera House was built during the heyday of rubber trade, using materials from all over the world, and was once visited by all the most famous opera divas and maestros. Regular guided tours in English, R$ 20. There are frequent free performances, often advertised on the SEC Facebook Channel; be sure to arrive at least an hour in advance to secure a seat. Also, check out the Largo de São Sebastião just to the east to experience this square with Opening of the Ports of Friendly Nations statue and historic buildings around. A together with the Theatro da Paz in Belém.

Original home of first Afro-Brazilian governor of Amazonas state who made modern Manaus.

This eyecatching building was constructed in 1910 in the neoclassical style, with marble, chandeliers, and skylights from England. During the times of the rubber boom, the library was frequented by the elites of Manaus. Then, with the fall of that the library also fell into disrepair and tragically was consumed in a conflagration that left only 60 books. But it has since been restored.

Manaus' metropolitan church which has a cathedral museum dealing with Catholic relics and the pope's visit to Manaus. Outside the church centerpiece is Osvaldo Cruz Plaza with the Municipal clocktower and obelisk gracing Av Eduardo Ribeiro.

Yet another Amazonia museum, this one in a colonial house, and curated by the public university. Nice baskets and masks and caiman skull collection.
