[Part 1/2] Walking in the Historic Center of Salvador de Bahia - UNESCO World Heritage

Walk with me in Pelourinho, which is the Historic Center of Salvador de Bahia in Brazil! (below source by Wikipedia) The Historic Center (US) or Centre (UK; Portuguese: Centro Histórico) of Salvador de Bahia in Brazil, also known as the Pelourinho (Portuguese for "Pillory") or Pelo, is a historic neighborhood in western Salvador, Bahia. It was the city's center during the Portuguese colonial period and was named for the whipping post in its central plaza where enslaved people from Africa were publicly beaten as punishment for alleged infractions. The Historic Center is extremely rich in historical monuments dating from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Salvador was the first colonial capital of Brazil and the city is one of the oldest in the New World (founded in 1549 by Portuguese settlers). It was also one of the first slave markets on the continent, with slaves arriving to work on the sugar plantations. The area is in the older part of the upper city (Cidade Alta) of Salvador. It encompasses several blocks around the triangular Largo, and it is the location for music, dining and nightlife. It has a place on the national historic register and was named a world cultural center by UNESCO in 1985. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi everyone, I'm Keiko :) I'm currently living in Salvador, Bahia Brazil and I thought it would be a great opportunity to share my daily life and experiences with you on Youtube.
