Edifício-sede do Instituto do Cacau da Bahia, Art Deco public building in Commercial district, Salvador, Brazil.
The Edifício-sede do Instituto do Cacau da Bahia is a public administrative building with Art Deco features located in Salvador's commercial district. The four-story structure houses government offices, a bank branch, and a public restaurant.
The institute was established in 1931 during Bahia's shift from sugar to cocoa production. The construction of this headquarters symbolized the region's economic transition and the growing importance of the cocoa industry.
The building reflects Art Deco and Bauhaus design principles that were emerging in Brazilian institutional architecture during the early 20th century. You can see these influences in the facade details and overall composition as you walk around the structure.
The building is easily accessible in Salvador's commercial district on Avenida da França. Visitors should plan to explore the public areas during regular business hours.
The building was equipped with advanced cocoa transport technology, including underground conveyor belts for moving the commodity. These systems represented innovative solutions for handling and storing cocoa in the early decades of the 20th century.
