Bataclan Ilhéus, Historic site in Ilhéus, Brazil

The Bataclan in Ilhéus is a two-story building near the old port with preserved architectural details from the 1920s cocoa boom era. The structure displays typical features of that period and feels like a window into the city's prosperous past.

From 1926 to 1938, the building operated as a casino, cabaret, and brothel serving wealthy cocoa plantation owners from the region. After this period, it became an important cultural site in the city's history.

The building features prominently in Jorge Amado's novel 'Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon,' where it represents a gathering place for the community. Today, visitors can still sense how this location shaped social life in the city.

The building underwent extensive renovations completed in 2004 and now functions as a cultural center with exhibition spaces and a café. Plan time to explore the rooms and observe the interior details.

The name references the Bataclan theater in Paris, and the venue once hosted international dance performances twice nightly. This cosmopolitan entertainment tradition was unusual for a city of this size at the time.
