March 17 is the birthday of Aracaju
March 17 is the birthday of Aracaju, the capital of Sergipe. Founded in 1855, the city was planned to replace São Cristóvão as the state capital, becoming one of the first Brazilian capitals designed with streets organized in a checkerboard format.
Over the years, Aracaju has stood out for its economic growth, vibrant culture and beautiful coastal landscapes. The city is home to tourist attractions such as Orla de Atalaia, the Municipal Market, the Historic Center and the Museu da Gente Sergipana, which preserves the local identity.
The anniversary celebrations include cultural events, concerts, exhibitions and sports activities, bringing together residents and visitors in a festive atmosphere. The date reinforces Aracajuan pride and pays tribute to the history and development of the city, considered one of the capitals with the best quality of life in the Northeast.
