A stone fortress rises where jungle once met sea, its cannons echoing the first heartbeat of Fortaleza. Each corner here hides a secret: from political conspiracies plotted inside thick walls to masterpieces rescued from oblivion at the Ceará Museum, the city’s old center has always thrived on stories whispered and shouted.

Follow this self-guided audio tour through Centro’s historic core and unlock layers of history most visitors never hear. Step beyond the postcard and find out what really happened behind the facades.

What scandal shook colonial power at the Fortress of Our Lady of the Assumption? Who vanished in the museum halls on a stormy night? And why does a certain streetlamp mark more than just light for late-night wanderers?

Feel tension build as footsteps carry you from sunlit plazas into shadowy archives. Relive turmoil, rebellion and sudden laughter all stitched together on Fortaleza’s restless streets.

Curious yet? The city’s secrets await — press play and walk into the story.
