Introduction
Largo do Pelourinho sits in Salvador's historic centre, the heart of the UNESCO-listed Pelourinho district, ringed by colonial painted churches and three-storey old mansions. Named for the pillory once used to punish enslaved people, today it is a stage for Afro-Bahian culture: street drumming, capoeira and reggaeton fill the air, and Thursday night's bloco de percussion is legendary. Cobbled slopes link churches, craft shops and viewpoints — the best place to feel Salvador's soul.From the viewpoint the old town's red roofs spill down to the bay.
