Pelorinho is in the older part of the upper city, or Cidade Alta, of Salvador. It encompasses several blocks around the triangular Largo, and it is the location for music, dining, and nightlife.
Pelourinho was the old slave auction location in the days when slavery was common. Slavery was outlawed in 1835, and over time, this portion of the city, though home to artists and musicians, fell into disrepair. In the 1990's, a major restoration effort resulted in making the area a highly desirable tourist attraction. Pelourinho has a place on the national historic register and named a world cultural century by UNESCO.

You’ll meet different kinds of street performers - especially in the historical center. Bahian ladies dressed in traditional clothes, people dancing Capoeira on the streets. It is special indeed.
