The House has a collection made up of around 200 pieces originating from the Gulf of Benin, collected by French photographer Pierre Verger throughout his trips to Africa, to study the ebbs and flows between Africa and Bahia.

4. Igreja e Convento de Sao Francisco

San Francisco Cruise. Here we will tell about the birth, in the 19th century, of a male organization whose objective was to help the black community of Salvador in the fight for its liberation. We will also learn about another fundamental part of African culture, such as samba and capoeira dances. The rhythms are sure to make you want to move your feet!

Duration: 15 mins

5. Angola House

The African influence in Brazil appears in the language, food, music, behavior and religious manifestations. The Casa de Angola cultural center, located in one of the colonial mansions, built in the 18th century, was founded on November 5, 1999 with the aim of keeping alive and consolidating cultural ties between Brazil and the African country.

Duration: 25 mins

6. Cultural Afro Brazilian Museum

There you come into contact with works that talk about black identity; of Africa as the continent from which all humanity originated; the issue of trafficking in people who were enslaved; of black resistance, quilombos and revolts. You also learn about contributions to cuisine, religion and popular festivals, as well as sports and music, which is an exuberant array of samba, semba, maracatu and others.

Duration: 40 mins

7. Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black People

The objective of this association is to worship the Virgin of the Rosary, through faithful observance of the rules of its commitment. The Venerable Third Order of the Rosary of Our Lady at the Gates of Mount Carmel – Brotherhood of Black Men is, first and foremost, a Roman Catholic apostolic brotherhood with an African slant. It has maintained, with dignity and renewal, throughout its more than three centuries, its characteristics as an African territory in the diaspora.

Duration: 20 mins

8. Elevator Lacerda

The Conceição Hydraulic Elevator – which has been on an electrical system for some time – and in the past popularly called “Parafuso”, was the first urban elevator in the world. When it opened in 1873, it was also the tallest, at 63 meters. It connects Bairro do Comércio to Cidade Alta, in a journey of approximately 20 seconds. That's when there's no queue. So, on party days in that area, be prepared because the elevator is used as everyday public transport by those who live in the city.
