Curitiba é Assim - Curitiba, capital of Paraná in southern Brazil

ARAUCÁRIAS..(ÁRVORE SÍMBOLO DE CURITIBA)...


Trata-se de uma árvore alta com copa de formato de cálice. A araucária ou pinheiro brasileiro se destaca das outras espécies brasileiras principalmente por sua forma original que dá às paisagens do sul uma característica toda especial. No passado, antes que a lavoura de café e cereais cobrisse as terras paranaenses e antes que os trigais cobrissem os campos gaúchos, sua presença era tão comum que os índios chamaram de "curitiba" (que quer dizer "imensidão de pinheiros") toda uma extensa região onde esta árvores predominava. E a palavra acabou imortalizada, denominando a
capital do Paraná.

AS RUÍNAS DE SÃO FRANCISCO
As Ruínas de São Francisco, na Praça João Cândido, são os remanescentes de uma construção inacabada que seria a Igreja de São Francisco de Paula. Em 1811, a capela-mor e a sacristia ficaram prontas, contudo, em 1860, as pedras que finalizariam as obras da igreja teriam sido usadas para erguer a torre da antiga Matriz. Existem relatos, não confirmados, de que foram construídos túneis ligando as ruínas a outros pontos de Curitiba
