Palazzo degli Sport, Sports palace in Castro Alves Square, Salvador, Brazil
The Palazzo degli Sport stands between the Palace and the former headquarters of A Tarde newspaper, creating the entrance portal to Rua Chile street.
The building, inaugurated in 1935, replaced the São João Theater, Brazil's first opera theater that was destroyed by fire in the twentieth century.
The palace houses twenty-five sports federations, including the Bahia Table Tennis Federation, Bahia Amateur Sports Foundation, and Bahia Capoeira Federation.
Located at coordinates 12° 58′ 35″ S and 38° 30′ 51″ W, the palace maintains regular operating hours for visiting the various sports federations.
The structure forms part of what Portuguese colonizers named 'Portas de Santa Luzia', marking a historical gateway into the central district of Salvador.
