Centro Cultural Palácio da Sé

The Archiepiscopal Palace of Salvador, also known as the Archbishop’s Palace of Salvador, the Archiepiscopal Palace of the Cathedral and the Palace of the Cathedral, are located at Praça da Sé, in the Historic Center of Salvador.

It was built at the beginning of the 18th century to be the residence of archbishops (opened in 1715). It is one of the examples of architecture from the colonial period in the city, having a basement and three floors above the street. Its entrance is marked by a baroque pediment and a limestone portal decorated with the coat of arms of Dom Sebastião Monteiro da Vide, Archbishop of Salvador (1701-1722) at the time of the building’s construction. The architectural influence of Italian Renaissance palaces can be seen in its interior, with two superimposed galleries that open onto a central courtyard. The windows on the first two floors are of sill and straight lintels and the noble floor, the highest, has windows with balconies and iron railings. The interior is organized around a central courtyard.

The building was connected to the old Sé Church by elevated walkways. In 1933, the church was demolished to allow for the expansion of the tram tracks of the Companhia Linhas Circular de Carris da Bahia. Currently, the space of the former church is occupied by Praça da Sé, where, in 1999, the monument da Cruz Caída, by the artist Mário Cravo, was erected, in honor of the demolished temple.

The adaptation of the use of the property is intended to establish a center of reference in the history of the Catholic Church in Brazil, exhibiting the uniquely important collection of the Archdiocese of Salvador.

There, writers received distinguished visitors, such as Glauber Rocha, Pablo Neruda, Tom Jobim, Dorival Caymmi, Roman Polanski, Jack Nicholson, Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, just to name a few.
All this wealth is told in the different environments of the house, with its more than two thousand square meters, including the garden where Jorge and Zélia’s ashes are deposited.

To make the experience of immersing in the intimacy of Jorge Amado and Zélia Gattai more didactic, the house was divided into several thematic spaces, always keeping the original features, the rich collection and important documents, such as letters exchanged with national and international personalities.
