Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black People
This is one of those churches of Salvador that one must visit even though they are not of the Catholic religion. Preserving its history linked to slaves, the cult liturgy makes use of music inspired by Candomblé's terreiros, to the sound of atabaques. In the back of the church, there is an old slave cemetery. This church is celebrated every Tuesday a Catholic mass that incorporated some of the elements of African culture, such as singing and dancing.
