São Luís is the only Brazilian state capital
 founded by France
 and it is one of the three Brazilian state capitals
 located on islands (the others are Vitória and Florianópolis).

São Luís is known for its tiles
 which most buildings in the historical centre
 are covered in. Because of it the city is
 also known as "The Tiles City".
