B o h e mian neighborhood
Cidade Baixa is a neighborhood of contrasts. On the
one hand it is where the past is more visible - as said
by Moacyr Scliar - with a large concentration of
historic houses, especially the door-and-window
style, as on João Alfredo Street and Venezianos Lane.
The peaceful atmosphere, and some residential
streets as Lopo Gonçalves contrast with the
neighborhood’s bustling nightlife. This is where
there is the greatest concentration of bars, taverns,
concert halls and theaters. If the plan is to enjoy the
evening in a relaxed atmosphere, or alternatively,
Cidade Baixa is the right place.
Pa rq u e Fa r ro upilha
( Fa r ro u p i l h a Park)
The affectionate name Redenção, printed in the
memories of the people of Porto Alegre comes from the
old name given in 1884 - Campos da Redenção
(Redemption Fields) - honoring the struggle for the
liberty of slaves. Porto Alegre would have been the first
city (together with Redenção in Ceará) to free slaves, 4
years before the Golden Law.
In 1930, the park receives a project by architect and
urban planner Alfredo Agache, which brings unity to the
area through a central axis and the design of gardens
and nooks.

The gracious semi-detached houses from
early 20th century are examples of the door-window style and keep
the memories of workers villages, very common for the time being.
The name of the place refers to the Sociedade Carnavalesca
Venezianos (Venetian Carnival Society) settled in the area in early
days of Carnival in Porto Alegre. It is said that it was named after the
Italian city of Venice due to painful floods the area suffered.
