The square is surrounded by colorful small houses, and walking through it is like walking into a small Portuguese town. Opposite the slate square are colonial-era buildings painted in pastel blues and pinks. The blue buildings used to be slave markets, and there are still torture instruments used to torture slaves in the corners. The yellow building next to it is the Municipal Museum. The exhibition is mainly centered on Bahia culture, among which the carnival is more impressive.

Perot Forcenio Square is an ancient historical square in Salvador. The pavement of the square is made of small stone bricks. On both sides are colorful houses, very colorful with the color of the Spanish colony. Walking here feels like a square in Europe. It's a historical witness here!
It is simple and interesting, it is easy to walk and go shopping, there are places to eat and drink, and you can also contact the local culture. The pebbled streets have a festival atmosphere and the atmosphere of the community, which is very enjoyable. There’s a Geronimo show on Tuesday night, don’t miss it, it’s a special show.
