Solar Amado Bahia

Solar Amado Bahia features 52 rooms across two public floors, with a rectangular layout centered around a corridor and transverse chambers.

Portuguese architect Francisco Mendonça designed this residence, which opened in December 1904 for the wedding celebrations of the owner's daughters.

The mansion incorporates metal supports from England, French mirrors, English porcelain fixtures, and decorative ceiling paintings by artist Badaró.

The site functions as an ice cream museum with guided tours, charging R$10 for entry while offering free access to its ice cream parlor.

The interior walls display escaiola painting techniques that recreate marble patterns throughout the 107 doorways of this coastal property.
