The city of Salvador was founded through the actions of the Portuguese Empire, which, given its favorable geographic conditions, selected it as the first capital of Brazil, holding this role from
1549 to 1763. Salvador is located in the Northeast of Brazil, in the state of Bahia.
With a population of 2.8 million inhabitants, it ranks as the fourth most populous city in Brazil and the largest in the region. Along its diverse and long hills, a distinctive feature of the city, one can find over 360 churches scattered throughout the capital. Salvador is also renowned for hosting one of the world’s largest popular festivals: Carnival, making it one of the most sought-after destinations in Brazil.
