Old Cathedral of Salvador

Salvador, Brazil

The Old Cathedral of Salvador (antiga Sé da Bahia in Portuguese) was the cathedral of the diocese and later archdiocese of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, from the 16th century until 1765. The seat of the archdiocese moved to the current Cathedral of Salvador. Despite its historical significance, the Old Cathedral was demolished in 1933 under Archbishop Augusto Álvaro da Silva (1876-1968) during a wave of redevelopment in Salvador's historic center. Demolition of the cathedral allowed tram routes to enter into the historic center of the city. The current Cathedral of Salvador is a former Jesuit church.
