Pelourinho

The centerpiece of the Cidade Alta is the Pelourinho, an Unesco-proclaimed World Heritage Site of brilliant provincial structures and wonderful houses of worship.

As you meander the cobblestone lanes, looking up at the city's most seasoned engineering, you'll understand that the Pelô isn't only for sightseers.

Social focuses and schools of music, move and capoeira pack these pastel-hued seventeenth and eighteenth century buildings.

The territory has experienced real rebuilding work – which stays progressing – since 1993 on account of Unesco financing.

As a matter of fact, the Pelo has lost a considerable measure of its character simultaneously, yet to state that it is currently more secure and better protected is putting it mildly.
