Salvador - Carmelite Church

To the north of the Pelourinho quarter, on Largo do Carmo, are a Carmelite church and convent, built in 1580, burned down in 1788 and rebuilt forty years later. The sacristy now contains a museum, a notable item in which is a sculpture of Christ in Chains by Francisco Manuel das Chagas, known as O Cabra, a slave who became a notable sculptor (18th century).
