The Church and Convent of São Francisco are important historical buildings in the city.
Located in the heart of the city, the structures were built between the 17th and 18th centuries and are considered one of the most unique and rich expressions of Brazilian Baroque, with the church, in particular, a sumptuous interior decoration. They were listed by Iphan, classified as one of the Seven Wonders of Portuguese Origin in the World, and are part of the Historic Center of Salvador, today a World Heritage Site.

In October 2025, we were unfortunately informed that the monastery church had been closed for some time. Unfortunately, this probably wouldn't happen for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, it was worthwhile to visit the convent and the small side church. The Franciscans probably didn't suffer much...
