Salvador

Salvador

I did a walking tour of the city. One side of the Igreja da Sao Francisco

 The stone cross in the middle of the main thoroughfare.
 The west entrance to Igreja são Francisco.
 Catedral Basilica.

 Universidade de Medicina.

 Igreja Rosario de Preto and the square where Michael Jackson did his dance routine.
 Looking out from the man square over the lower town and the commercial harbour.
 The old harbour now reserved for pleasure craft.
Municipal offices.
 This is how people get about the city which is built on two very different levels so there are a number of elevators to get people up and down between the two areas which cost just pence.
 The fort at the entrance to the old harbour.

 And there were dozens of other old buildings, both ecclesiastical and secular and after seeing so many so close together, I don't really want to see another church for a month!
