São Gonçalo dos Campos

São Gonçalo dos Campos is an administrative division in the northeastern region of Bahia. The town sits at a moderate elevation in rolling landscape and functions as a local government seat with a central downtown area organized around the church.

The area was originally settled by colonists and later received its current administrative form during Bahia's administrative reforms. This restructuring shaped local governance and connected the place to the broader state system.

The patron saint's festival brings residents together with traditional music and dance performances that reflect local pride. Gathering in the town center, people share food and customs that have passed through families for generations.

The town is reached by regional roads connecting it to neighboring municipalities and larger cities. Visiting is most comfortable during drier months when roads are easier to travel.

The town preserves old craft traditions, especially ceramic making, passed down through local families over generations. This craft is woven into daily life and can be seen in small workshops around the downtown area.
