We'll start our activity at Castro Alves Square and then head towards Chile Street, the first street in Brazil. We'll then pass the Palacete Tira Hat and arrive at Praça Municipal, the first square in Brazil, where the administration of old Salvador is located. We'll also take a break next to the Lacerda elevator to enjoy the view and tell you some interesting facts.

We'll pass Praça da Sé, where the monuments to Brazil's first bishop and Zumbi dos Palmares, leader of the largest refuge for escaped slaves in colonial Brazil, are located.
