Parque Histórico Nacional dos Guararapes

Brazil

The Parque Histórico Nacional dos Guararapes (in English: Guararapes National Historical Park) (PHNG) is a historical park located in the municipality of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The Morro dos Guararapes (Guararapes Hill), inside the park, was the scene of one of the most important episodes in Brazilian history: the Second Battle of Guararapes - decisive in the Insurrection of Pernambuco (the expulsion of the Dutch from the north-east of Brazil) and considered to be the origin of the Brazilian Army. The Church of Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres dos Montes Guararapes, a baroque temple at the top of the hill, houses the remains of André Vidal de Negreiros and João Fernandes Vieira, two of the heroes of the battles fought there.
