Church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim
Historic Centre of Salvador de Bahia1985
UNESCO World Heritage
It is one of Salvador’s most traditional churches and one of the greatest symbols of the local religious syncretism. Although known for the Catholic faith in the city’s patron saint, the Church also represents elements of Candomblé, where the Saint joins Oxalá, the father of all Orixás.
