São Francisco Square
A broad open square lined with colonial buildings, listed by UNESCO. It reads as a crisp void among the old blocks and anchors the whole upper town.

The map
About this São Cristóvão map poster
São Cristóvão sits on high ground in the Sergipe lowlands, a few kilometres inland from the coast. From above, the old centre is a compact cluster of short streets and open squares along the crest. Below it, the newer districts spread out along the roads that run down toward the river flats and the wetlands at the edge of the town.
It is one of the oldest towns in Brazil and was the capital of Sergipe until the seat moved to Aracaju in the nineteenth century. Its São Francisco Square, framed by colonial religious and civic buildings, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On a map the square shows up as a clean open rectangle among the tight blocks of the upper town.
A São Cristóvão map poster shows both halves of the town clearly. The upper town appears as dense, irregular blocks on the hill. Around it, the newer neighbourhoods are drawn in looser grids, with the green and blank spaces of the river country between them. It is a small town, but its layout still shows how it grew over several centuries.

Upper and lower town
The historic core holds the high ground, and newer streets step down the slope. The change of level shows in how the street pattern loosens as it descends.
River lowlands
Low, wet ground borders the town, so development stops at soft, uneven edges. The result is a settlement drawn as an island of streets in open country.
