Edifício A Tarde, Art Deco office building in Praça Castro Alves, Salvador, Brazil
The seven-story Edifício A Tarde displays geometric patterns and vertical lines characteristic of Art Deco architecture, with large windows overlooking the Bay of All Saints.
Constructed between 1928 and 1930 by E. Kemnitz & Cia, the building served as headquarters for the A Tarde newspaper until 1975, marking an era of print media growth.
The building represents the evolution of Brazilian commercial architecture in the 1930s and maintains its status as an IPAC historic heritage site in Salvador.
Following extensive restoration, the structure now houses the Fasano Salvador hotel, offering accommodations with views of the bay and access to central Salvador attractions.
The original iron spiral staircase from the newspaper era remains intact, connecting dining spaces that were once bustling newsrooms and editorial offices.
