Palace of Saldanha, Colonial manor house in Salvador, Brazil
The Palace of Saldanha features a monumental stone portal with carved columns, floral designs, and architectural elements across its two-story structure.
Colonel Antonio da Silva Pimentel acquired multiple properties from Carmelite Order in 1699 to construct this residence, which later passed to Dom Manoel Saldanha da Gama.
The building demonstrates the influence of Portuguese colonial architecture through its spatial organization, with servants' quarters on ground level and family areas above.
The Palace currently houses the Arts and Crafts High School, following extensive restoration work completed in 1992 after a devastating fire in 1968.
The entrance includes an expertly decorated doorway with distinctive atlantes figures, resembling design elements found in period Lisbon manor houses.
