Perched on top of the hill of the same name, St. Benedict's Monastery was built outside the walls of Salvador's old city, on a hill above one of the city gates, a location that also offers a scenic view of the Baia de Todos Os. The monastery was distinguished by a unique design, with external courtyards, mosaic interior courtyards and gilded walls, while the ceilings are vaulted in a way that reflects prestige and grandeur!
