Solar Ferrão, Art museum in Pelourinho, Salvador, Brazil.

Solar Ferrão is a noble townhouse built between the 17th and 18th centuries at the corner of Rua Gregório de Matos and Ladeira do Ferrão, in Pelourinho, Salvador. Because of the steep slope it has three floors at the front and six at the rear, plus a basement. Its main facade has two doorways dated 1690 and 1701, decorated with volutes and reliefs; the top floor has windows with balconies and iron railings, and the noble floor has rooms with wooden panel ceilings. It now houses the Abelardo Rodrigues Museum of sacred art.

Construction began in the late 17th century, likely from the merging of two townhouses; one belonged to the Portuguese merchant Antônio Maciel Teixeira, whose family lived there until 1756. The building then became the seat of Salvador's Jesuit seminary, which carried out adaptation works. From 1793 to 1814 it was the residence of Pedro Gomes Ferrão Castelo Branco, who gave it its current name. The state government acquired it in 1977.

The building houses the Museu Abelardo Rodrigues, a collection of sacred art. The museum is linked to the Instituto do Patrimônio Artístico e Cultural da Bahia (IPAC), which celebrated its fortieth anniversary with a renovation in 2008. The name Solar Ferrão comes from Pedro Gomes Ferrão Castelo Branco, who lived here from 1793 to 1814.

The museum sits in Pelourinho's historic district and is open on weekdays in the afternoon as well as weekend days. Walking through the neighborhood makes it easy to visit along with other nearby attractions.

The 1938 listing in IPHAN's Book of Fine Arts was justified by the originality of its architectural and artistic design, as the museum's director Graça Lobo put it. Renovations after the 1977 state purchase uncovered turned sandstone columns, ceiling paintings in the halls and traces of 18th-century sanitary installations.
