Ilhéus: Culture, History and Natural Beauty in the South of Bahia

Ilhéus, in the south of Bahia, is world famous for the works of Jorge Amado, such as Terras do Sem Fim, Cacau, São Jorge de Ilhéus and Gabriela, Cravo e Canela. Rich in history and breathtaking scenery, the city is an enchanting destination that attracts visitors from all over Brazil and the world.

100 kilometres of beaches and adventure

With the longest coastline in Bahia, Ilhéus offers around 100 kilometres of paradisiacal beaches with crystal clear, calm waters, perfect for relaxing or playing sports. Some of the most famous beaches are

• Praia dos Milionários: Known for its infrastructure of huts and kiosks, it is ideal for families.
• Praia do Cururupe: Offers a spectacular meeting of river and sea, with beautiful scenery.
• Olivença Beach: Popular with surfers, it is known for its waves and youthful atmosphere.

In addition to the beaches, Ilhéus offers unique experiences such as river trips, waterfalls and ecological trails. For the more adventurous, there are abseiling, surfing and sport fishing options, making it the perfect destination for thrill-seekers in the midst of nature.

A literary and historical setting

A veritable open-air museum, the city’s historic centre transports visitors to the universe of Jorge Amado’s novels. In the heart of Ilhéus, the Praça Dom Eduardo houses cultural icons such as

• Bar Vesúvio: Immortalised in Gabriela, Cravo e Canela, the bar is a historical and cultural meeting place.
• Bataclan: A former cabaret that hosted glamorous parties during the cocoa era. Now a cultural centre and themed restaurant.

Other attractions include the City Theatre, the Cathedral of São Sebastião and the Igreja Matriz de São Jorge, the latter dating from 1556 and one of the oldest temples in Brazil.

The age of black gold: The rise and fall of cocoa

At the beginning of the 20th century, Ilhéus was at the height of its cocoa economy, being the largest cocoa exporter in the world. The wealth generated by the monoculture transformed the city, with cocoa colonels building luxurious palaces and funding public works such as the port and electric lighting.

From the 1980s, however, the cocoa economy faced an unprecedented crisis. The witches’ broom, a fungus that devastated plantations, combined with falling prices on the international market, resulted in an economic disaster for the region.

Economic and technological renaissance

Despite the challenges, Ilhéus has reinvented itself. Today, the city relies on new technologies to restore its cocoa plantations, using the cloning of seedlings resistant to witches’ broom.

The local economy is also characterised by the technology industry: Ilhéus is responsible for 20% of the country’s production of electronic components. This modernisation reinforces the city’s role as the industrial hub of the state.

Events and attractions throughout the year

Ilhéus is a busy destination with attractions all year round. In summer, the arrival of cruise ships increases tourism, and local events such as fishing tournaments, fashion fairs and sports competitions attract a wide range of visitors.

Olivença, one of the most famous districts, offers an excellent tourist infrastructure and is a meeting point for relaxing, exploring its beaches and getting to know the local culture.

Ilhéus: A complete destination

Whether it’s the paradisiacal beaches, the rich historical heritage or the literary connection with Jorge Amado, Ilhéus is a destination that combines nature, culture and modernity. Its history of overcoming obstacles and economic renewal shows the strength and resilience of a city that continues to enchant generations of visitors.

1.1 St Sebastian’s Cathedral

• Architecture: Designed by the architect Salomão da Silveira in an eclectic style. Construction began in 1931 and was completed in 1967, after more than 30 years.
• Features: The main vault is 48 metres high. Although not considered an architectural masterpiece, it is a cultural and spiritual landmark for the community.
• History: Inaugurated with great pomp, the cathedral has welcomed bishops, cardinals and the Apostolic Nuncio, the Pope’s representative.
• Tourist Interest: A symbol of the city of Ilhéus and a must see.

History of São Sebastião Cathedral

The Cathedral was designed by the architect Salomão da Silveira in a style considered eclectic.

Dom Frei Eduardo José Herberold, the newly arrived bishop, blessed the land on which the cathedral was to be built in 1931, and work began, but was soon paralysed.

There was much discussion about the architectural style and its location. To resolve the impasse, Mayor Eusínio Lavigne consulted the director of the Arts School of Rio de Janeiro, Professor Arquimedes Memória.

This imposing temple of the Catholic Church has been the dream of the Ilheense community for more than thirty years.

The Cathedral symbolises the dream of the bishop who started the work, Dom Eduardo, who was buried in the church itself. He is still idolised today and is considered a saint by many of the faithful.

St Sebastian’s Cathedral was inaugurated in 1967 and took over thirty years to complete.

The size of the church is impressive. Its main vault is 48 metres high.

Although it is not considered an architectural masterpiece, it has enormous cultural value for what it represents for the local community and for the tourist activity of the city.

According to reports, the wonder of wonders was its inauguration. That day the city was filled with bishops and cardinals. Even the Pope’s representative, the Apostolic Nuncio Dom Sebastião Baggio, was present.

Teacher Maria de Lurdes Abreu‘s choir performed Hendel’s “The Messiah”. At the inauguration, the Cathedral looked like a “Vatican in miniature”, such was the beauty, pomp and circumstance of the celebration.

The Cathedral of São Sebastião is undoubtedly the symbol of the city of São Jorge dos Ilhéus and one of the most important tourist attractions.

Tourists never fail to visit it, regretting when it’s closed and taking back from Ilhéus a beautiful reminder of the church’s grandeur.

• Highlights: Stained glass windows depicting the Seven Sorrows of Mary and the high altar with the image of Our Lady of Mercy.
• Importance: Considered a jewel of the city’s cultural heritage.

History of the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Piedade

In 1927, in the fading light of Mário Pessoa’s first government, the Chapel of São Sebastião was ordered to be demolished so that a Cathedral could be built in its place.

The construction of the majestic new Cathedral gave rise to much debate about its design and location.

The Nossa Senhora da Piedade Institute contributes significantly to the development of Ilhéus and the region, educating young people for social life.

It all began with an invitation in 1916 from the 1st Bishop of Ilhéus, Mgr Manuel de Paiva, to Mother Maria Thaís Paillart to found a School for Girls to meet the need for formal education in the region.

In the building that housed the convent and boarding school, work began on the construction of the Chapel of Our Lady of Piety. In 1927, construction began on the Chapel, a beautiful example of Neo-Gothic architecture.

The builder, Salomão da Silveira, adapted the architectural plan commissioned by Mother Thaís in France, and the work was completed in 1929.

Campaigns involving the whole region made it possible to build the chapel, which has become a symbol of Gothic architecture in the state of Bahia.

Consecrated on 31 August 1929, the Chapel of Our Lady of Mercy has celebrated 81 years of Mass, Baptisms and Marriages, becoming a spiritual and cultural landmark of the city.

Many lives have been united under the blessing of the Pious Mother, who watches over her children from the altar.

The highlight of the chapel is its high altar, with the Picture of Sorrow, depicting Our Lady of Mercy at the foot of the cross, cradling the dead Christ in her lap.

The chapel is also notable for its beautiful stained glass windows, which illuminate the temple perfectly and depict the Seven Sorrows of Mary.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Mercy is undoubtedly a jewel in the city’s cultural heritage.

1.6. St George’s Parish Church

• Origin: Built at the end of the 17th century, with Jesuit influences.
• Architectural features: Nave, choir, sacristy, aisle and pyramidal tower.
• Collection: Sacred images such as St George, Our Lady of the Rosary and rare pieces in the Museum of Sacred Art.
• History: One of the most important monuments in Ilhéus.

History of the Mother Church of São Jorge

The Igreja Matriz de São Jorge in Ilhéus dates from the late 17th century, according to the IPAC.

It is a church of significant historical and architectural interest, with a nave, chancel, side-nave, sacristy and tower on the left.

The façade has two bodies, the main one framed by cornerstones and a cornice, with a beautiful doorway flanked by two doors on the ground floor and two windows at choir level.

The tower is pyramidal, with corbels at the corners and a full arch.

The cornerstones, cornices, door and window surrounds and arrowheads are of sandstone. Inside, the cross arch, niches and pulpit basin, also in sandstone, are notable.

The ceiling is rounded at the corners of the nave and vaulted in the chancel.

The neoclassical high altar is incomplete. Among the images in the church are those of St George, a Crucifix, Our Lady of the Rosary and St Peter.

The Sacristy and the Side Corridor, which is used as the Museum of Sacred Art, contain furniture and sacred art. Highlights include a Sacred Head, images of St Michael, Our Lady of the Snows (16th century), St Anthony, St Ignatius and St Caetano (17th century), and silver utensils.

Typological data

The church is a refined construction from the late 17th century.

Typical of this period are the corner enclosures and the pyramidal tower, first used in the Cairu Monastery (1660).

Similar enclosures can be found in Santa Teresa, the Jesuit Prayer House, the Berquó and Sete Mortes manor houses in Salvador, and the Church of São Brás in Santo Amaro.

Another archaic element are the niches on the side of the transept arch, also found in the College of Olinda and the Ajuda and Belém churches in Cachoeira. These elements and the refinement of the construction suggest the intervention of a Jesuit architect.

Architectural history

According to IPAC (1988, p. 224), after the arrival of the first Portuguese and the founding of the city of São Jorge, Francisco Romero founded the settlement on the hill of São Sebastião.

In 1556, the Parish of São Jorge was founded by Dom Pero Fernandes Sardinha, and the first inhabitants of the captaincy began to build the first church, which was not completed until 1572.

The Parish Church of São Jorge was built after the Convent of Cairu, which dates from 1660.

In the early 20th century, the church’s right sacristy was demolished to widen a road. The original design of the church had a T-shaped plan, characteristic of the 17th century.

The Igreja Matriz de São Jorge is considered the most important historical monument in the parish. The Museum of Sacred Art, next to the church, brings together beautiful, ancient and rare pieces.

• It functioned as a mixture of cabaret, casino and ballroom and was famous for its luxurious and relaxed atmosphere.

• The space has several attractions, including
  • : A cybercafe.

  .

Today, the Bataclan is a symbol of the historical and literary wealth of Ilhéus, keeping alive the memory of a remarkable period in the city, perpetuated by the work of Jorge Amado.

1.9 Municipal Theatre

The Cine-Teatro Ilhéus was inaugurated on December 22nd 1932, as a result of a tax incentive granted by the city’s then-mayor, Eusinio Lavigne.

It was inaugurated as the largest theatre in the city’s history, with a showing of the Fox Filmes film Honrarás tua Mãe.

The mayor, the owner Celso Martins and the whole of the local community were present. The newspaper Diário da Tarde pointed out: “Ilhéus has been transformed into a kind of artistic village, with an extraordinary number of theatre men and women who have naturally come here, attracted by the country’s reputation for prosperity.”

Since its inauguration, the cinema has played an active role in the leisure activities of the people of Ilhéus and in the building of local culture. During this decade, the city had six cinemas.

Original features

When it was built, the theatre had a capacity of about a thousand people. Its screen had a great novelty: it allowed the sound of the tapes, emitted by the differential horn installed behind it, to pass through without being intercepted.

Renovation and modernity

The dilapidated building was donated by the Rehem da Silva family to the City Hall and rebuilt by the mayor at the time, Jabes Ribeiro. On July 10th 1986, the public packed the new theatre to see a performance by Balé Corpo from Belo Horizonte.

The Ilhéus Municipal Theatre has been renovated, with a modern structure inside, while the original façade has been retained to preserve its history.

Present structure

The current City Theatre has

• A Art Gallery and a Foyer.

1.10. Jorge Amado Cultural Centre

• History: The place where Jorge Amado was born and spent part of his childhood.
• Collection: Documents, photographs and objects relating to the writer’s life and work.
• Importance: A point of reference for fans of the author and for regional literature.

Jorge Amado’s family lived on a farm near what is now the district of Ferradas, in the municipality of Itabuna, in 1912, when the man who would become the greatest writer of the cocoa region was born.

The farm was called Auricídia, which became the name of the wife of one of the author’s characters in the book Terras do Sem Fim.

In 1914, when little Jorge was less than two years old, the Cachoeira River raged, causing one of the greatest floods in its history.

As a result, many people lost their cocoa plantations, including Colonel João Amado de Farias, the author’s father, who moved with his family to the Pontal neighbourhood, in the bay of the same name, on the outskirts of Ilhéus.

Impoverished and having lost everything, they set up a clog factory to make a living.

With his savings, João Amado bought a poor house in the same place, which had only a door and a window.

Building the palace

After a while, João Amado won the first prize in the Federal Lottery and had the beautiful 582 m² palace built on the site of the modest hut that now houses the Jorge Amado House of Culture.

Construction began in 1920 under the direction of Maximiano Souza Coelho and was inaugurated in 1926.

The house does not have its own style, but is considered eclectic, with a mixture of neoclassical and colonial elements, reflecting a combination of styles.

Architectural details

• The flooring is all original, made of rosewood and vinhático, forming bicoloured squares, a work widely used at the time.
• The flags on the doors are made of cast iron in the French neoclassical style.
• There are also coloured glass flags in the colonial style.
• The marble used in the house came from Carrara in Italy, easily obtained when foreign ships passed through Ilhéus.
• The tiles that decorate the balcony are in English Art Nouveau, with nautical and floral motifs such as boats and orchids.

It was common to use jacaranda in the houses, especially in the windows, as the fabric curtains, which were all foreign, were not feasible due to their high cost.

The chandelier in the main room is made of glass, not real crystal, but it is of the same period.

Transformation into a house of culture

In 1988 the house was donated to the city council by the state. Listed as a National Heritage Site, it was inaugurated on 27 June 1997 in the presence of Jorge Amado himself and his family.

Jorge Amado wrote his book The Land of Carnival in this house, perpetuating the cultural and historical importance of the place.

1.11. Paranaguá Palace

• Architecture: Built in neoclassical style.
• Present use: Town hall headquarters.
• Attraction: Represents the political and administrative history of Ilhéus.

Listed by the Bahia Institute for the Protection of Artistic and Cultural Heritage (IPAC).

On January 20, 1898, the first stone of the building was laid by Lieutenant Colonel Domingos Adami de Sá, on the site of the old Jesuit house, the ruins of which were completely demolished.

On 22 December 1907, the Paço was inaugurated by the same intendant, according to a commemorative plaque on the façade.

The decoration and paintings were made by the Italian artist Oreste Sarcelli and the lighting by the Vita brothers.

The building has a constructed area of 1060 m², is located in the Praça J.J. Seabra and occupies the highest part of the Square, in the historical and commercial centre of the city; it has four facades.

IPAC description (1988, p. 225): “A building of significant architectural interest, built for the city council headquarters. It has a rectangular plan, developed on two floors, around a large central vestibule, where the imperial staircase is located”.

The building has undergone several renovations in its almost 100 years of existence. Between 1912 and 1916, under the government of Intendant Colonel Antonio Pessoa, the building underwent a major refurbishment, including the installation of sanitary equipment and the extension and repair of the furniture.

In 1919, despite its short life, the building was in danger of collapsing, and the municipal offices were transferred to the school group.

On 2 July 1923, the building was renovated and reopened to the public by the Intendant, Colonel Eustáquio de Souza Bastos. The floors were replaced by concrete slabs and the original roof was replaced by three parallel roofs.

The Paço Municipal was built between 1898 and 1907, at the height of the cocoa economy. It was one of the most luxurious and best decorated and furnished public buildings in the state at the time.

The upper floor housed council chamber, quartermaster’s office, secretariat, engineering section, noble hall with mural paintings and courtrooms.

On the ground floor, according to Borges de Barros (1981), were the civil and criminal courtrooms, the judge’s chambers, the medical centre, the barracks and the prison.

According to the same author, its architecture seems to have been inspired by the Paço dos Governadores in Salvador, before its last reconstruction in 1912, and by the same neoclassical inspiration.

The building’s name, Palácio Paranaguá, is a tribute to the President of the Province of Bahia, who, on 28 June 1881, by Provincial Law no. 2,187, elevated the town of São Jorge dos Ilhéus to the category of city, and it retains the same name.

The marble statue in front of it, also neoclassical, represents Sappho, an ancient Greek poet born on the island of Lesbos.
