Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in State of Bahia, Brazil
Bahia (locally [baˈi.ɐ]) is one of the 26 states of Brazil and is located in the northeastern part of the country on the Atlantic coast. It is the 4th-largest Brazilian state by population (after São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro) and the 5th-largest by area. Bahia's capital is the city of Salvador (formerly known as "Cidade do São Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos", lit. "City of Holy Saviour of All Saints Bay"), located on a spit of land separating the Bay of All Saints from the Atlantic. Once a monarchial stronghold dominated by agricultural, slaving, and ranching interests, Bahia is now a major manufacturing center whose last three elections have been dominated by the Workers' Party.

Our guide (Ivan Bahia) took us on a round trip in Salvador and de ponta Humaita was a very nice spot. You have an impressive view on the skyline of Salvador and on All Saints Bay (with a beautiful sunset if you get there a bit past 5pm). Definitly worth a stopover.

In 1550, a little after the discovery of Brazil in 1500, Jesuit priests arrived in Salvador and immediately started building a small chapel and a college. The area occupied then by the "Society of Jesus" became soon known as "Terreiro de Jesus". Today it is certainly the gateway to Salvador's historical center, in the Upper City. This square was recently restored and is really unmissable. Visit the square and some of the most important churches of Salvador as the "Catedral Basílica", "Igreja da Ordem Terceira de São Domingos Gusmão", "Igreja de São Pedro dos Clérigos" and "Igreja e Convento de São Francisco". The first School of Medicine in Brazil is also there. A beautiful fountain completes the scene. Enjoy!
