The city of Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia (in the 18th century the capital of the vice-reign of Brazil) contains diverse monuments of baroque style; the church of the convent of San Francis of Assisi is its most extraordinary example. This amazing Franciscan temple and convent located in the Terreiro de Jesus, mixes a sober and grandiose architecture with the refined blue and golden tile decorations and the protuberant golden and polychrome ornamental carving that features the glorious reign of dom Joao V in Portugal. Sculptor end researcher Mozart Alberto Bonazzi Da Costa presents a study of the "archaeology of past trades that should be conserved" (p. 17).
