Centro de Artesanato de Pernambuco

In a handsome 2,508-square-meter (27,000-square-foot) renovated warehouse on Recife's waterfront main square, the Centro de Artesanato de Pernambuco is everything that a quality crafts emporium should be. Northeast Brazil is known for its fine artisans, and here ceramic works, wooden folk statues and textiles are of the highest standards.
