Today is a rainy day. I planned for my first stop and Church of St. Francis is the nearest to my hostel. Actually, there are many churches along the street, Largo Terreiro de Jesus.
An old church which is closed.
Igreja de Sao Francisco
It is a famous church in the area.
Yes, because of its goldplated altar.
Everywhere is shiny.
I was stuck in the church as it rained heavily. This picture was taken before the pour. The place was flooded afterwards.
There were many bible stories printed on the tiles along the 4 corridors.

Interesting sculpture, looked like a man carrying his cross facing the harbour.
It is the famous Elevador Lacerda linking to the lower part of the city
Just beside the entrance to the elevador, it was a bank, but now a museum.
The Lower City Cidade Baixa
I took a lift ride and got yo Mercado Modelo, which has occupied the former customs house. There are stalls selling all kinds of local handicrafts and souvenirs. I had a drink of fruit juice and watched the capoeira performance there.
