Ordem Terceira de Sao... - Salvador da Bahia
Ordem Terceira de Sao... Pelourinho Review

Ordem Terceira de Sao Francisco
Monastary beside Sao Francisco Church, in Pelourinho. Its facade was under a layer of cast and its details were only discovered about ten years ago, when it began to be restored! Behold, humans, and drool!

Address: Pelourinho

MAS - Museu de Arte Sacra da... - Salvador da Bahia
MAS - Museu de Arte Sacra da... MAS - Museu de Arte Sacra Review

MAS - Museu de Arte Sacra da Universidade Federal da Bahia (Sacred Art Museum of the Federal University of Bahia)
It's... beyond words! It's a very pleasant and beautiful museum, unfortunately not many people visit it! It's also nice to know that part of it was recuperated by reformed street kids trained by the Licee of Arts and Professions (Liceu de Artes e Oficios)!! Monthly there are free concerts there, all very astonishing!

Directions: Rua do Sodre, Paralel street from Av. Carlos Gomes. Map available on the site.

Concerts at Catedral Basilica... - Salvador da Bahia
Concerts at Catedral Basilica... Catedral Basilica Review

Concerts at Catedral Basilica da Se - Salvador
Those concerts are absolutely wonderful! Sometimes it's organ and flute, sometimes it's choir and organ... it varies! But they happen every sunday by 10am and they are FREE and unforgettable! The cathedral is always crowded with all sorts and shapes of people, and the variety of the audience proves that art is a very effective way of getting to all hearts...

Address: Terreiro de Jesus, Pelourinho

OSBA - Orquestra Sinfonica da... - Salvador da Bahia
OSBA - Orquestra Sinfonica da...

OSBA - Orquestra Sinfonica da Bahia (Bahia Sinphonic Orquestra).
Not only a very good orchestra, but also concerned about bringing culture to one and all. With a policy of letting the elderly attend the concerts for free and always reserving special chairs for those who cannot normally afford to watch a concert, they also play in hospitals, public schools, squares, museums, outdoor stages...

Directions: Their siege is at Teatro Castro Alves, at Campo Grande.

Igreja da (Nossa Senhora da)... - Salvador da Bahia
Igreja da (Nossa Senhora da)... Churches Review

Igreja da (Nossa Senhora da) Conceicao da Praia - Church of Our Lady of the Conception of the Beach
Dazzling beautiful and where all the famous people get married - either here or at Vitoria church or Bomfim. The building was pre-made in Portugal and shipped in pieces to Brazil. The picture in the roof creates an illusion. (1739-1773). Irma Dulce, candidate of becoming the second brazilian saint in History, is burried in this church.

Address: Largo da Conceição da Praia (Cidade Baixa)

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do... - Salvador da Bahia
Igreja de Nossa Senhora do... Churches Review

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Pretos - Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black
Very beautiful church, maybe the most ecumenical of them all, competing only with Bomfim and Sao Lazaro. Check the statues, the masses (the only ones I have the patience to attend! A lot of drums and happiness, not a glimpse of the atmosphere of guilt!)

Address: Pelourinho
