This historic center is the clear summary of colonial Brazil that brings together four neighborhoods: Terceiro de Jesús, Maciel, Largo do Pelourinho and Carmo. Located in the upper part of the city, the Pelourinho neighborhood, the historic heart of the city, encompasses most of Salvador's monuments (cathedrals, churches and convents), which we discover in its squares or cobbled streets. We visit the Cathedral, built in the 17th century, and considered a real work of colonial baroque, we continue with the church and convent of San Francisco, located in the Maciel neighborhood, the "golden" church with towers covered in monochrome tiles , which is notable for its interior decoration, one of the most beautiful examples of Brazilian Baroque.
