Description We trace the African roots of Salvador on a city tour which combines the newer, modern section and the older Historical Center of Salvador, the Pelourinho area, named after the pillory which stood in the main square, in front of the central slave market. We visit the Afro-Brazilian Museum and trace the West African origins of the city and observe the superb wooden, sculpted panels of the orixá's by Salvador's most celebrated artist, Carybé. We visit the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, the famous Black church, built with meager resources over a period of almost 100 years. We look in on artists and sculptors at work and let the senses do the rest as we soak up the feeling of this vibrant city. The buildings may be European but the spirit is truly African.
