Remarkable Features
Although born French and somewhat proud of it, São Luís has little evidence of the presence of its founders, except for street names and a few monuments - such as the beautiful Palácio La Ravardière - and a certain culinary delicacy. The main features of the city have been inherited from the Portuguese: The amazing glazed tile houses and the innumerable surnames of Portuguese origin, among other influences.
In 1997 São Luís was granted the title of Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO, a tribute to the preservation of its magnificent and homogeneous 18th and 19th century colonial architectural setting in Latin America. There are more than 3,500 buildings of precious historical and artistic value, reflecting the way of living of the rich families in town.
São Luís is bathed by the warm waters in the bay of São Marcos and the Atlantic Ocean, and is constantly bathed in sunlight.
