Sáo Borja, Brazil

May 19, 2023

São Borjas, Brazil, has a population: 60,000. It is located at the eastern border of the Southern Region, across the Uruguay River from Santo Tomé, Argentina. Two former Brazilian Presidents were born here so the city was nicknamed "Land of Presidents". The city has two museums of former Presidents artifacts in their own former homes. There are two other museums, one that displays local artifacts from the town's history and the other display early missionary and indigenous collections. The main church at the center plaza is interesting not because of its antiquity, its not old, but because it reminds me of hobbit houses, check out the pic in the photo album. (Note: The São Borja sign above is not my pic, I walked all over this city and couldn't find that sign, I think it must be located somewhere out on one of the roads entering the city.)
