Recife
Seaport (pop., 1991 est.: 1,297,000), NE Brazil. Founded by the Portuguese in the first half of the 16th cent., it was raided and sacked by British privateers in 1595. It was occupied by the Dutch 1630-54. It has been called the Venice of Brazil because it is crossed by waterways and its component parts are linked by numerous bridges. Situated at the confluence of the Capibaribe and Beberibe rivers, near Point Plata, the easternmost point of S. America, it is one of the leading ports of Brazil, with extensive modern facilities. It is an educational and cultural center, with several universities and theaters.
