Capoeira dancers amaze passersby and artisans hawk souvenirs at this handsome central square where colonial mansions sit next to centuries-old churches.

Admire the mannerist façade and sacred art that decorates this Jesuit-built church, which dominates the lively Terreiro de Jesus square.

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.

With gold leaf artwork and decorative azulejo tile murals, the lavishness of this church-convent complex’s décor is in stark contrast to the humbleness of the saint to which the church is dedicated.
