★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I didn’t expect that I was able to see such a beautiful church in Brazil.
It was amazing gold architecture.
And also from historical point of view,
here is a one of great heritage where human needs to pass down from generation to generation.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful place. It’s nearby Pelourinho and great attraction. The entrance costs R$5 per visitor and the inside is magnificent. It shows how awesome Brazilian churches are. Definitely worth.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Give me GOLD! Wow! So impressive - you can understand why the Catholics used such opulence to convince and convert the non-believers because it is just as amazing as what it was a couple of hundred years when it was first built. In the main part of the church, just sit and be amazed but the splendid glory of Brazil’s former wealth.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ this building is so so beautiful. The courtyard is covered in tiles that are donated by the portugese king in 1795 (according to my guide), and the inside is covered in gold. I cant even begin to describe it. There are so many statures and sculptures , its breaktaking. Theres also a cemetery of some sort where some ancient bones lay. I heard it also contains the living quarters for some reverened father. This place was really beautiful and its a must see if you ever are in Salvador

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gorgeous and interesting Church
We stumbled across this during our walk around Pelourinho and what a gem it is. There were flowers laid down the aisle of the chapel so I assume there was soon to be a wedding there and it looked truly stunning.
Walking around to can go into the Throne Room and Crypts followed by other rooms with information and artifacts. Just after the Crypts there was an outside area but we didn't venture out there as it seemed this was the reception area with the same flowers as the Chapel so likely for the wedding but it was gorgeous.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Igreja e convento de Sao Francisco De Asis is a highly recommended stop on your next visit to Pelourinho Salvador. It's stunning from the outside and lights up beautifully at night. The real beauty however is seen in the fine detailing and elaborate use of gold on the inside. The cost to enter is only R$5 / US$1( in March 2022 ), a price thats more than worth it. The pictures really don't do it justice. They don't provide tour guides so I would advise visiting as a part of a walking tour of pelourinho, to get details on the history. Definitely add it to your list of must do in salvador.
