1- RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Today is a birthday day! Salvador
celebrates,
this
Monday,
March
29,
472
years
since
its
foundation, which occurred in 1549. It seems a long time, doesn’t
it? 472 years… But everything is relative. Damascus, the Syrian
capital, and Beirut, in Lebanon, for example, are around 5,000
years old

2- And even though it is still young, Salvador is a city famous all
over the world for its beaches, Carnaval, historical attractions, for
being the first capital of Brazil, the city of music recognized by
Unesco, and many other qualities.
3- To celebrate the 472 years of this young lady, G1 sisted listed
attractions that are not so obvious in Salvador. It has a lot of
things: from giant acarajé to the Holocaust Memorial, from the
largest bay in Brazil to the delicious bread roll, besides, of course,
being the birthplace of the first Brazilian saint. See the list below:

Brazil’s largest bay
1- The year was 1501 when the first
colonizing ships sailed through the
waters of Todos-os-Santos Bay. With
1,233 sq km of area and more than
50 islands, it is the largest bay in the
country and the second largest in the
world,
only
behind
the
Bay
of
Bengal.
2- Considered the Blue Amazon, from these waters comes the
subsistence of the riverside dwellers and fishermen, as well as being
used as private “swimming pools” for the piers of luxury buildings
located in the Corredor da Vitória, in Salvador, or as a “carpet” for
the parade of speedboats and sailboats.

Giant Acarajé
1- In every corner of Brazil you can
find acarajé, but in Salvador things
have
taken
on
proportions
never
before seen in the history of this
country. The market is brutal and the
competition for customers is fierce,
and
since
corporate
the
watchword
world
is
in
the
“innovate”,
a
Bahian from Salvador went all in.
2-
Regivalda
Linhares,
known
as
Binha,
from
the
Liberdade
neighborhood, invented the giant acarajé, which weighs one kilo (can
you imagine the pepper?). She said she came up with the idea during a
period when her husband was unemployed. The Goliath acarajé was so
successful that even famous people became customers. “Márcio Victor,
from Psirico, comes here from time to time. I like him a lot”, said the
Bahian.

3- The artist praised the delicacy: “Her acarajé is impressive. I met her
through Júnior, Psirico’s dancer, who lives in Liberdade. We had just
left a rehearsal with the band and everyone was hungry. We passed by
an acarajé [tray] and felt like eating. Then he came up with the idea of
going there because it would be cheaper and would be good for
everybody.
He
combined
business
with
pleasure.
I
became
a
customer.”

Delicious bread roll
1- Ah, the delicious bread roll (pãozinha delícia)! A guaranteed
presence at every party, meeting, happy hour, and whatever else is
invented for socializing. Outsiders sometimes get the confused with
cheese bread (pão de queijo), but let me tell you once and for all:
the dough does not contain an ounce of cheese and is a mixture of
wheat flour, yeast, sugar, milk, eggs, salt, oil, and margarine.
2- With time, the
most creative
chefs have been adding the most
varied fillings, which can be cheese,
turkey breast, patê, and whatever
else goes with this marvelous dish.

3- The most accepted legend says that the delicious bread roll was
born from a mistake, like the discovery of penicillin (and around
here, the delicacy seems to be more appreciated than penicillin):
someone was making bread dough, but used too little flour and the
mixture became sticky. The dough ended up fermenting and the
person decided to bake it anyway. The result was this star of
popular haute cuisine.
4- Some sources say that the delicious bread roll was invented in
Vitória da Conquista, in the southwest of Bahia. Regardless, it is in
the capital of Bahia that it reigns supreme. It is like that saying: “the
English may have invented soccer, but it was the Brazilians who
created dribbling”. Game on!

Israeli
Cemetery
and
Holocaust
Memorial
1- The Bahia Israeli Cemetery is located
at Largo da Quintas dos Lázaros, in the
Baixa
de
Quintas
neighborhood.
A
Holocaust Memorial was built on the
site in 2007. The building faces east,
allowing the faithful to pray in the
direction of Jerusalem, according to
Jewish tradition.

2- According to architect Sergio Ekerman, responsible for the Memorial
design, the building “seeks the inspiration for its forms in the word
“chai” – life in Hebrew – understanding that the memory of those who
are among us, as well as of those who have passed away, is made
through the recapitulation of their lives, their actions and their legacy.
Not by chance, we call the cemetery, in Hebrew, Beit HaChayim, House
of Life”.
3- At Ladeira da Barra is the Cemitério dos Ingleses (English Cemetery).
Inaugurated in 1814, the cemetery is on Sete de Setembro Avenue. Its
history is related to the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil and
the signing of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between the
Kingdom of Portugal and the United Kingdom, which allowed the
presence of the Anglican Church in Brazil.

City of music
Ôôôô, here in Salvador, the city of axé, the city of rock, the city of
forró… In June 2016, the capital of Bahia was recognized by the
United
Nations
Educational,
Scientific
and
Cultural
Organization
(Unesco) as a “City of Music” – the only one in Brazil.
The measure aimed to promote international cooperation between
cities
for
sustainable
urban
development,
social
inclusion
and
increased influence of culture in the world.
In September 2020, Salvador’s title of city of music was renewed by
Unesco.

Museum of sexuality
Get the kids out of the room! Did
you
know
that
Salvador
has
a
Museum of Sexuality? Yes, it does,
and it is located in Pelourinho.
There is a rich collection of sculptures, drawings, and utilitarian
objects from various cultures related to the phenomena of sex life
and sexuality in the world. The pieces are made of several materials,
such as ceramics, porcelain, marble, glass, fiber, acrylic, wood, and
fabric.
The initial idea for the museum came from obtaining handmade
ceramic pieces made in the Northeastern fairs, representing scenes of
eroticism or depictions of nudity. From then on, new pieces were
acquired in other states and countries.

Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Praia Church
There
is
a
Church
of
Nossa
Senhora
da
Conceição everywhere, but only in Salvador is it
from the beach! And the reason is as prosaic as
possible: the small chapel built in 1549 and that
gave origin to the church was built on the beach.
The history of the church is intertwined with the history of Salvador. The
chapel was built by order of the then governor of Brazil, Tomé de Souza,
and after 300 years of renovations and even filling up the area, the
church took the form known today. The chapel of 1549, however, was

Our Lady of Conception became the patron saint of Bahia, and the feast
in honor of the saint was first celebrated on December 8, 50 years ago.
Before, the celebration, which has been going on for more than four
centuries, did not have a specific date.

The first and only urban elevator in
the country
The first elevator that served as
public transportation in the world
and
one
of
the
most
popular
postcards in Brazil, the Elevador
Lacerda
is
147
years
old.
The
development was created to solve a
problem of uneven levels in the
city. In the early 17th century, the
only
way
to
transport
cargo
between the so-called “Upper City”
and “Lower City” in Salvador was
by crane.

People moved on long stairways and steep hillsides. After the
foundation, besides being a means of transportation, the elevator
became a postcard and a tourist attraction. From the top of its 72
meters, near the Salvador City Hall, it is possible to have a view of
the Todos-os-Santos Bay, the Mercado Modelo and,
in the
background, the São Marcelo Fort.
The elevator has undergone several renovations before reaching
the current model. The first one occurred in 1906, almost 33 years
after the inauguration, when it started to run on electricity and
had its base widened. In 1930, a second tower and two more cars
were added.

Birthplace of a saint
In
2019,
canonized
Sister
by
the
Dulce
was
Vatican
and
became Saint Dulce of the Poor.
With
this,
Salvador
became
the
place where the first Brazilian saint
was born and lived.
Dulce Maria de Souza Brito Lopes Pontes was born on May 26, 1914,
and from an early age showed that her mission on earth was to be
close to those who needed help – mainly the sick and poor. At the age
of 13, she already welcomed beggars and the sick in the house where
she lived with her father and brothers, in the Nazaré neighborhood.

From a simple chicken coop, she created what became the Social
Works Sister Dulce, in Cidade Baixa, and founded the Santo Antonio
Hospital, which is part of the complex of works. Sister Dulce saved
lives, pulled people out of drug addiction, gave hope to abandoned
teenagers, and did all this with hard work and dedication.
In
2003,
the
shrine
of
Sister
Dulce
was
built
next
to
the
headquarters of the Osid (Sister Dulce Social Works(, in Largo de
Roma. There, the relics (term used to designate the body or part of
the body of the blessed or saints) of the Good Angel of Brazil are
deposited in a space called Chapel of the Relics – a circular room,
with triple height, having in the center the tomb that keeps the
remains of the Mother of the Poor.

The Chapel of Relics was opened in June 2010, when Sister
Dulce’s body was transferred from the Santo Antonio Chapel
(located in the Sister Dulce Memorial) to its new home. In
September 2019, the shrine underwent a new renovation,
gaining a glass tomb with a life-size effigy of Saint Dulce of the
Poor.

Home of Carnaval
Now a math question for you: what is
the
result
if
we
add
a
city
that
breathes carnaval with a city full of
museums? That’s it! The result is the
Casa
do
Carnaval,
a
museum
that
gathers props, musical instruments,
costumes used by artists of Bahia’s
music, and videos that tell the history
of the party.

Founded in February 2018, the attraction is located in Praça Ramos
de Queirós, Pelourinho, Salvador’s historic center. Even before
entering the museum, the public is welcomed by a sculpture of
“caretas”, traditional costumes in the carnaval of the Bahian
Recôncavo (the area surrounding the Todos os Santos Bay, mainly
from the city of Maragogipe, a municipality where, since 2009, the
February revelry is an Intangible Heritage of Bahia.
The museum has seven spaces that include rooms that deal with
the history and beauties of carnaval, a cafeteria, an academic
research room, an interactive movie theater, a terrace for events
such as soirées and book launches, and an unmissable view of
Todos-os-Santos Bay.
