Canudos State Park, Archaeological site in Canudos, Bahia, Brazil.
The park spans 1,321 hectares of caatinga terrain with sparse vegetation, cacti, and bromeliads adapted to dry seasonal conditions.
The site preserves the battleground of the War of Canudos from 1896-1897, where military forces fought against local settlers under Antônio Conselheiro.
A 5-kilometer trail connects multiple archaeological sites, revealing the social dynamics of pre-colonial societies in Brazil's arid regions.
Located 410 kilometers from Salvador, the park entrance is accessible through highway BR-235 via a paved road for historical research visits.
The northern section of the original settlement now lies submerged beneath the waters of Cocorobó Dam, constructed during the 1960s military regime.
