Olinda - Rua dos 4 Cantos

Rua dos 4 Cantos

Rua 13 de Maio runs into Rua dos 4 Cantos, the traditional meeting-place of Olinda's carnival clubs. In this street is the sculpture "Senhor Atado" ("Christ in Chains"), one of a series of Stations of the Cross dating from 1773. Other stations are the "Senhor Carregando a Cruz" ("Christ Carrying the Cross") in Rua Bernardo Vieira de Melo, the "Senhor Apresentado ao Povo do Castelanho" ("Christ Presented to the People of Castelanho") in Rua 27 de Janeiro and "Nossa Senhora com Jesus" ("Mary with Jesus") on Largo do Amparo.

In 1809 an additional sculpture, the "Senhor dos Montes das Oliveiras" ("Christ on the Mount of Olives"), was set up on the Alto da Sé.
