In its streets and alleys are hundreds of houses of the 17th and 18th centuries that house museums to Candomblé, and Catholic churches that attract scholars from around the world - in the case of the San Francisco church, considered the richest baroque work of country.
To reach downtown town it takes in, literally, in one of the postcards of Salvador: the Lacerda Elevator, which connects the two points. Once at sea, explore the beaches is crucial. Between urban, Porto da Barra is the most democratic and busy.

Pelourinho
Go to Salvador and fail the Pelourinho is almost a heresy, especially in the Land of All Saints. The neighborhood, located in the Historical Center of Salvador, draws attention to the houses in colonial baroque style Portuguese and is part of the UN Heritage. The name dates back to the slavery period, because at that time they used the pillory, a stone pillar in the middle of a square to punish the slaves.
Farol da Barra
Also known as Santo Antonio Lighthouse, the site is one of the main sports in Salvador. The tower which guided vessels for what was already one of the main ports of South America is 22 meters high and was built in the seventeenth century. On site, in addition to the external beauty, you can access the nautical museum.
Lacerda Elevator
This postcard is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Salvador, but also serves as a means of transport for the population as a link between the Lower Town and the Upper Town. Facing the Bay of All Saints, the elevator owns a breathtaking view.
