Old Buildings-Pelourinho

The Pelourinho, section of Salvador, is the historic center of the city. It was restored back around 1993 and Michael Jackson shot a video here in 1996. I was amazed at how fast some of the building have deteriorated in less than twenty years. The good news is with the World Cup coming in 2014 there starting to rebuild it again. It'll be interesting to see it all colorful and vibrant again.
