Cathedral of Salvador

Big church. Some weird artwork. Cool that you can wander around downstairs. The 'back' area is not as magical as the gold front but I suppose that's because the men who run the gaff dont need to be impressed by gold everywhere. Decent toilet downstairs. Had toilet paper. Only 10 local to get in

Try and get a guide to take you through the Cathedral! We had a wonderful guide, Gilmar, he speaks Portuguese and French. The rich culture and historical background of the region is amazing and he can put the cathedral in the context of the local culture! Beautiful visit and worth the fee.

A magical place - stumbled in on Christmas Eve just as the band was finishing “Silent Night”

Surreal!

What an interesting and incredible church so much history and culture pure beauty such a wonderful vist

I was told it was the first church in Brazil, so I visited for historical/touristic reasons. But I met Mass, and that added to the beauty of the experience.

One of the most important monuments in Bahia impressive artwork and architecture

Beautiful Grand Catholic cathedral st the main city square
