Basilica Do Senhor Do Bonfim
The Basilica Church Santuário Senhor Bom Jesus do Bonfim, in Salvador, was built between 1746 and 1754, to house the image of Senhor Bom Jesus do Bonfim, brought from Lisbon, in 1745. The architecture is in neoclassical style and Rococo façade. Senhor do Bonfim is an icon of the Bahian faith. The church attracts many devotees, tourists and pilgrims. The famous ribbons of Senhor do Bonfim are made since the beginning of the 19th century and measure the length of the right arm to the chest of the Senhor do Bonfim image.

The Lacerda Elevator is a symbol of the two-story city called Salvador, one of the most well-known port cards in Bahia. It connects Praça Tomé de Sousa, in Cidade Alta, to Praça Cayru, in the Comércio district. It was the first elevator in the world to serve public transport and the tallest of its kind, when it opened on December 8, 1873, the day of N.S. da Conceição da Praia.

Dique de Tororo
Dique do Tororó is a dam built in the 17th century, in a natural valley, as shown in the illustration by Arnoldus Montanus, from 1671. Initially it was used to protect the city against invasions. From the 19th century, the Dyke began to be grounded for the expansion of the city, considerably reducing its size. Today it is a well-wooded area for sports and leisure. It has an amphitheater, community centers, pedal boats, restaurants, as well as twelve sculptures of orixás signed by the artist Tati Moreno. The orixás represented are Iansã, Nanã, Ogum, Oxalá, Xangô, Iemanjá, Oxum and Oxossi. The squirts with the orixás, in addition to the decorative effect, seek to oxygenate the water
