Highlights

Salvador da Bahia is situated on an arrowhead peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and All Saints Bay. Originally called the "City of Bahia", Salvador was founded in 1549 and remained the capital until 1763. During colonial times, the city was invaded by the French and Dutch and was also frequently attacked by pirates. Thus a chain of forts (including the "Sea Fort") was built to protect the coastline.
