The city looks awesome.When did it cease to be the capital.There's no turning back now Brazilia is established but It would of been nice if Salvador Bahia would have remained the capital.The architecture is so pastal and old world.

Looks great! A friend of mine is going there in January, his second time. I should like to go too some day.

Salvador was the capital of Brazil until 1763, when it was succeeded by Rio de Janeiro. Brasília became capital in 1960.

Heheh I'm going to Salvador on Monday, I hope I get to see some of the old downtown. I'm gonna stay in a resort some kilometers away from the city, so I don't know if I'll really have such a chance.

nice pics !beautiful city :cheers:

Beautiful city, Rio Branco Palace is awesome.

Nice city.
