Goiana is a city in Brazil in the northeast of the state of Pernambuco, about 100 km north of the city of Recife.
It is surrounded by, and is the commercial centre for, one of the richest agricultural districts of the state, which produces sugar, rum, coffee, tobacco, cotton, cattle, hides and castor oil.
Goiana is one of the oldest towns of the state, and was occupied by the Dutch from 1636 to 1654.
At GOIANA, 80km north of Recife on BR-101, parts of the town are still made up of rows of nineteenth-century terraced houses, built for workers in the local cotton mill, which has been long since bankrupted.
Pottery has taken over as the main economic activity, and Goiana is one of the most important centres of the flourishing Pernambucan ceramics industry.
Goiana is served by six buses a day from the Recife Rodoviaria.
