With the crisis in the colony and the autumn of the Dutch mastery of the Brazilian northeast, the citadel fell into disuse and changed into deserted. What became left become destroyed by way of explorers between the centuries 18th and 19th But consistent with the historian, it's miles nevertheless feasible to peer a few rubble close to the banks of the river Itapicuru, regarded by using the Dutch as rivier van donkere heuvels in English river of black hills, features bodily that relate to the ones determined at the river Bastiao as it's miles regarded by way of the locals margin in which supposedly there has been a settlement and fortification.
