Recreio da Juventude
Brazilian club / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Recreio da Juventude (English: Youth Recreation) is a club in the Brazilian city of Caxias do Sul. Founded in 1912, it is one of the oldest and most traditional clubs in the city. It has engaged in intense social, cultural, recreational, and sports activities since its foundation; the Esporte Clube Juventude branched out from the club. Currently, the Recreio da Juventude has a social headquarters, a large countryside headquarters with sports and leisure equipment, and remains the owner of the building of the old Central Cinema, which although deactivated since 1990, was one of the main show houses in Caxias, offering cinema, theater, and music. It won several titles in sports and the Central Cinema and the social headquarters building are listed as a heritage site.
