How has brazils portuguese heritage influenced its culture?
Portugal gave Brazil, the laws of the land (essentially from the Romans), the Catholic religion and most importantly its language. Poets and writes like Camoes, Antonio Vieira, Pessoa, Saramago are as dear in Brazil as in Portugal. Portuguese art and architecture in Brazil’s Colonial town is as spectacular or perhaps even more so that in the Metropolis. Look at the beauty of salvador’s 17th and 18th century Barroque churches.
