Where to stay in Charitas
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Two buildings anchor Charitas. The Igreja de São Francisco Xavier and the Casa da Fazenda Jurujuba are what the record hands this neighbourhood, and neither is on its own a reason to book a bed out here rather than closer to the middle of Niterói. Little of Niterói's hotel stock landed out here.
Of the 48 neighbourhoods Niterói divides itself into, the busier ones carry most of the lodging, which leaves Charitas a quiet address in Brazil rather than a convenient one.

About Charitas
What are the main landmarks in Charitas?
The Igreja de São Francisco Xavier is the church the record gives Charitas, and the Casa da Fazenda Jurujuba is the second name attached to the same neighbourhood. Beyond those two, Charitas lists nothing. Everything else a visitor might list belongs to Niterói at large, spread across all 48 of the neighbourhoods it divides into.
What is the history of Charitas?
Dates are missing. Charitas reaches the record already formed, one of the 48 neighbourhoods into which the city of Niterói is divided, with no charter year and no founding episode written down for it. The Casa da Fazenda Jurujuba and the Igreja de São Francisco Xavier are the two built names the sources attach to it.
Whatever came before belongs to Niterói, and to Brazil beyond it.
Where is Charitas?
Charitas is one of Niterói's 48 divisions, its ground gathered around the Igreja de São Francisco Xavier and the Casa da Fazenda Jurujuba.
