Archbishop's Palace of Salvador
Archbishop's Palace of Salvador, Catholic palace and cultural center in Pelourinho district, Salvador, Brazil
The Archbishop's Palace features three stories with a basement, displaying stone-carved coat of arms at its Baroque portal entrance in Salvador.
The construction began after a royal charter granted permission in 1707, leading to its completion in 1715 for Archbishop Sebastião Monteiro da Vide.
The palace houses permanent exhibitions about church history and Brazilian formation, displaying artifacts from the former Sé Cathedral collection.
The building combines religious administrative functions with public cultural activities through its center, which opened to visitors in 2020.
The palace structure incorporates an Italian-inspired central courtyard design that provides natural illumination and ventilation throughout all floors.
