PRACA DA SE

About Praca da Se

Praça da Sé is the heart of Salvador's historic center in Brazil. This vibrant square sits in the Pelourinho district, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The plaza is dominated by the Salvador Cathedral (Catedral Basílica de Salvador), a magnificent baroque structure dating back to the 17th century.

The square serves as a cultural hub where tourists and locals gather. Street vendors sell traditional Bahian food and crafts, while musicians often perform. The area is rich in Afro-Brazilian heritage and surrounded by colorful colonial buildings with ornate facades.

Praça da Sé offers stunning views of the Bay of All Saints and represents the intersection of Salvador's religious significance and its colonial past.
