Pelourinho
A living museum of Afro-Brazilian culture and colonial history, Pelourinho is the heart and soul of Salvador’s Historic Center. Its brightly colored facades, cobblestone streets, and 17th-century architecture have earned it a UNESCO World Heritage designation. Beyond its beauty, the neighborhood pulses with music, dance, and tradition - from capoeira circles and drumming groups to artisan workshops and sacred rituals of Candomblé. It’s a place to wander, discover, and connect with the cultural essence of Bahia.
