Pelourinho, also known as Pelo, is Salvador da Bahia’s oldest and most colorful neighborhood, characterized by a jumble of colonial buildings, cobblestone lanes, and pastel-painted façades. Once the site of Brazil’s first slave market, this historic district has transformed into a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a vital cultural center. Visitors can explore the narrow, winding streets, admire the well-preserved architecture, and immerse themselves in the rich history and vibrant culture that now define the area.
