In a city blessed with stunning churches this pretty slave-built church, in the heart of Salvador’s UNESCO-protected Historic Center, is one its most interesting.
The soul of Salvador’s Historic Center is a vibrant district of cobblestone streets framed by ancient churches, colonial mansions, museums and cultural centers.
Among the skyscrapers of Brazil’s biggest city is a museum of Portuguese, art galleries of Old and New World masters and the country’s first planetarium.
Capoeira dancers amaze passersby and artisans hawk souvenirs at this handsome central square where colonial mansions sit next to centuries-old churches.
