Florianópolis - 18 stops - par 52
Florianópolis is the setting for this round, where the map is the actual city and the ball rolls across its real streets. The holes are built from local attractions, ending the walk at Largo São Sebastião. Skip knows these sidewalks well, even the parts where the pigeons congregate. This full round of 18 holes covers 10.1 km with a par of 52, using 24 portals to bridge the gaps between districts.
The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.
Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.
Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.
Look closely at the exhibits before you step back to see the whole collection. This is the Museu Contador Renato Gonçalves, a museum that preserves the stories of the region. It was founded in 2002 to keep these records available for everyone. I've found that the atmosphere here is a great way to get your bearings in the city. Whether you are a history buff or just passing through, it is a steady point of reference for the local culture.
The Museu do Homem do Sambaqui is an archaeological museum that was founded in 1963. It is a dedicated space for studying the ancient shell mounds and the people who created them. You can also visit the site as an anthropology museum to learn about the human aspects of these early settlements and how they lived. I think it is one of the more intriguing stops on the course because it takes you so far back in time. It is a great place to slow down and appreciate the deep history of the island.
Let me show you this spot in the city. You will find the Museu da Escola Catarinense here, which is a museum. It had its inception in 2007. When you walk through this part of town, you can pick out the distinct character of the neighborhood. I find the area around here quite pleasant for a stroll, and it is a wonderful place to see how the local community interacts. Whether you are here for the history or just passing through on your way to the coast, it is a location worth noticing.
Catedral Metropolitana is a cathedral and a historic site. Construction on the building started in 1773, and it was built in the Neoclassical architecture style. Dedicated to Our Lady of the Exile, the site is recognized as cultural heritage by the Municipal Government of Florianópolis and FCC Good Class. In addition to these local recognitions, the building is protected by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute of Brazil. It has functioned as the cathedral of the archdiocese of Florianópolis since March 19, 1908.
This site is not a secular monument or a government office. It is Paróquia São Francisco, a church building. For those visiting the city, it is a place of worship and a point of historical interest. The building is recognized for its preservation and architectural value, as it holds a heritage status of FCC Good Class. This status indicates its importance to the local history of Florianópolis, making it a meaningful stop for anyone interested in the city's protected structures.
