Casarão Gallotti, the Amabilíssimo Pilgrimage Route and the Roteiro Agroturístico reveal different sides of Tijucas: architectural and urban history, a historic pilgrimage route, and rural landscapes and everyday life. There is also an annual festival and activities related to water and events. To plan your trip, it is worth first considering which of these highlights brings you to Tijucas.
Heritage and Urban History
Casarão Gallotti is an important part of the historical heritage of the municipality of Tijucas. Built in the late 19th century in the eclectic style, it was modeled on the Gallotti family’s castle in Italy. Museu Tijucas is housed in the main rooms on the first floor. There you can see the permanent exhibition “Ty Yuca” about the city of Tijucas and the Gallotti family. In this way, the same building brings together architectural history and the urban and family themes of the exhibition.
Another cultural connection is the Festa do Divino Espírito Santo. It draws worshippers and visitors every year. The program includes Masses, processions, folk dances and the traditional crowning of the Emperor of the Holy Spirit. The festival thus complements the history of Casarão with a recurring event featuring religious and folkloric elements. If you are planning a trip to Tijucas specifically for the festival, check the dates for your travel year.
The Amabilíssimo: History and Routes
The Amabilíssimo section of the Caminhos de Santa Paulina pilgrimage route includes Tijucas as well as Camboriú, Canelinha and Nova Trento. The route follows a road built in the 19th century and traces the journey Santa Paulina made from Nova Trento to Camboriú. The Amabilíssimo covers about 60 kilometers of trails through the Atlantic Forest. It is suitable for pilgrimages, hiking, horseback riding, and cycling or motorcycling. Its historical route and different ways of traveling are among the aspects that make it interesting to consider when planning your trip.
Rural Landscapes and Activities on the Water
The Roteiro Agroturístico highlights the rural landscapes and everyday rural life of Tijucas. The project aims to prepare local businesses to welcome visitors by improving infrastructure and hospitality. As individual offerings may evolve, check before your trip which visiting opportunities are planned for your dates.
