"Partial view of Canudos to the South"

The south side of Canudos can be seen in this image, with the ruins of the churches in the background. Photograph taken after the surrender, where one can observe the random arrangement of the houses in the camp. "The houses accumulate in absolute disorder, completely isolated, some between four narrow alleys, joined together, with the tested ones facing all points, ridges oriented in all directions, in an indescribable shuffle, as if everything were built quickly, dizzyingly, feverishly”. (Euclid da Cunha)
