> The All Saints Bay

Salvador, founded in 1549, by the Portuguese Tomé de Souza, is situated at the entrance of a very large bay, the All Saints Bay (Baía de Todos os Santos).

This exciting city, with a preserved cultural, historical and architectural patrimony, is famous too for its folklore, the capoeira, its colours and rythms and spicy cooking. The bahianos hospitality charms visitors. Salvador awaits your visit

Among other historical and colonial cities of Brazil (Olinda, São Luís, Tiradentes, Ouro Preto, Mariana and Diamantina), Salvador deserves surely to be included in your itinerary when traveling to Brazil: its Old Quarter, the Pelourinho, is declared World Cultural Patrimony by Unesco.

And, last but not least, besides all Salvador major attractions (See Discover for more details), the city's Carnival is one of the most animated from Brazil.

> Baroque Treasuries

Salvador has some of Brazil's most important baroque churches as the marvellous São Francisco Covent, the Ordem Terceira de São Francisco church, and The São Bento Monastery, which keep some of Brazil baroque's greatest treasuries, religious as well as profane, as in other historical cities.
