Malakoff Tower (Torre Malakoff)

The Malakoff Tower (Torre Malakoff), with its simple cream and white façade and unassuming central dome, stands as a significant historical monument in Recife, Brazil. Constructed in the 19th century, it originally served as an astronomic observatory and military arsenal storage. Today, visitors can explore the tower, which has been repurposed into an exhibition space and public observatory, offering a glimpse into its rich past and a place to observe the night sky.
