Pelourinho
Brazil
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Salvador, the historic district of Pelourinho boasts an irresistible blend of colour, culture, and colonial charm. Its cobbled streets, lined with pastel-hued 17th and 18th-century buildings, evoke the aura of a bygone era, while musicians fill the air with the infectious rhythms of Bahia. Once the site of a slave market, today it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its rich Afro-Brazilian culture. From the impressive São Francisco Church to the pulsating nightlife, Pelourinho encapsulates the mesmerising duality of history and lively modernity.
