Natal is an excellent destination for travelers who are fond of interesting excursions. The Fort of Three Kings is, without a doubt, the main historical symbol of the resort. This gorgeous protective facility was built at the beginning of the 17th century. The fort has a very unusual protective wall that is made in the shape of a star. The construction is incredibly strong and durable, and there is a reason for that. Whale fat is one of the main secret ingredients that have helped the fort to survive through centuries. Nowadays, the old fort hosts the exhibition of an interesting thematic museum dedicated to voyages and discoveries of famous explorer Vasco da Gama.
The historical district of Ribeira is an exciting place that is better to explore on foot. It is incredibly rich in old and interesting historical buildings. In total, there are more than 150 historical buildings in this part of the city. Some of these buildings are quite modest, and some are stunning and luxurious, such as colonial period villas in Victorian style. The governor’s palace, which dates back to 1873, is also located in Ribeira, as well as the beautiful town hall building. In the historical part of Natal, vacationers will also find the main theater of the city, which is considered to be one of the best in whole Brazil.
