Monumento Nacional Ruínas Engenho São Jorge dos Erasmos (PRCEU | USP)

Avaliação: 5
6o ano Escola Nossa Senhora das Graças: In our opinion, Engenho dos Erasmos is a very interesting, wonderful and different place. The tour guides explained very well its amazing history. Engenho dos Erasmos are the ruins of ancient sugar mills. In the past it received sugarcane via the São Jorge river. This mill was constantly attacked by pirates and corsairs who tried to steal its sugar for the commercial value it had. The sugar was so important, that its price was compared to the value of gold, so only the rich had sugar at that time, and now it is a common good. The poor people used to paint their teeth black to be more accepted by society, because the people that ate sugar, probably would have tooth cavities. This place stopped manufacturing sugar because of the sugar crisis. When the farm was abandoned, at about the XVIII century, the residents near the farm got some rocks from the archaeological site to build their houses. Nowadays it is a perfect place to take whoever would want to study archeological evidences about Brazilian history. It is not so crowded and the location is incredible. Engenho São José dos Erasmos is considered heritage by IPHAN, CONDEPASA and CONDEPHAAT, because it is very important for the history of Santos, São Paulo and Brazil.

Suuuuper recomendo ir a esse lugar. Um pedaço da história do brasil
