Lajedo de Soledade

The archaeological site Lajedo de Soledade is one of the most important in Brazil and the largest exposure of limestone in the Potiguar Basin, when a shallow sea covered the region. The emergence of the limestone structure is a consequence of the retreat of the sea and the formation of mini canyons, fissures and caves was the result of erosion caused by rain and currents that sculpted the limestone.

Lajedo Museum

The Lajedo de Soledade museum was opened in November 1993, after carrying out work to raise awareness among the population about the preservation of Lajedo. The architectural project, created by architect Adler Fontenelle, is a stylization of the caieiras (kilns for calcining lime) in the region, seeking to convey the idea that the preservation of Lajedo and its rational economic exploitation can coexist harmoniously.
