Traditions in Ribeirão da Ilha ... Tradições no Ribeirão da Ilha


Ribeirão da Ilha is the second oldest district of Florianopolis, behind Santo Antonio de Lisboa. In this place they still keep traditions as the Our Lady of Lapa Celebration, the production of bilro´s lace, canoes and whaleboats, and cipó baskets. The historic part of the district, where is the seat of the ancient Freguesia, is one of the oldest nucleus of açorian colonization, founded in the 18th century. This is Our Lady of Lapa Church, which was inaugurated in 1806, built by masters and their slaves, in stones, lime and whale oil. In some other time I´ll put some photos of the açorian façades.


Ribeirão da Ilha é o segundo distrito mais antigo de Florianópolis, depois de Santo Antônio de Lisboa. Ali se preservam tradições como a Festa de Nossa Senhora da Lapa, a produção das rendas de bilro, das canoas e baleeiras, dos balaios e cestos de cipó.
O centro histórico, sede da antiga Freguesia, é um dos mais antigos núcleos de colonização açoriana, fundado em meados do século XVIII. A foto é da Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Lapa, que foi inaugurada em 1806 , construída pelos senhores e seus escravos, em alvenaria de pedra, cal e azeite de baleia. Em outros momentos vou publicar fotos das fachadas típicas açorianas.
