About Farroupilha
Where to stay in Farroupilha
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds here answer to the park. Farroupilha sets guests beside Parque da Redenção, with the Monumento ao Expedicionário at one end and the Mini Zoo Palmira Gobbi among the trees, a frontage of open ground rather than street wall. Museum-minded visitors do well.
The Museu da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul and the Pinacoteca Barão de Santo Ângelo stand inside the same bairro.
About Farroupilha
What are the main landmarks in Farroupilha?
Museums cluster thickly here. Farroupilha holds the Museu da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, the Museum of Mineralogy and Petrology Luiz Englert and the Museu de Paleontologia Irajá Damiani Pinto, three collections tied to the federal university. Faith and memory take other addresses: the Capela Nosso Senhor Jesus do Bom Fim, the Positivist temple in Porto Alegre and the Capela Senhor dos Passos da Santa Casa de Misericórdia.
The Monumento ao Expedicionário anchors the lawn.
What is the history of Farroupilha?
Nobody wrote down when the bairro began. The ground carries two names: Campos da Redenção in the older usage, Parque da Redenção in the everyday one, and Farroupilha as the bairro that grew around the open field. Institutions on its rim, among them the Santa Casa de Misericórdia, hold dates the bairro record omits.
Porto Alegre keeps the chronology, as capital of Rio Grande do Sul.
Where is Farroupilha?
Park ground shapes the bairro. Farroupilha spreads over Parque da Redenção, once the open Campos da Redenção, inside Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul.
