Description: "As early as the first half of the 16th century, the Portuguese introduced sugar mills (engenhos) to Brazil, mainly in Pernambuco, Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro. A relevant chapter of Brazilian architecture was written on the mansions and chapels of the engenhos, particularly throughout the 19th century. This encompassing study was long overdue.
