Right at the top of Pelorinho, the Jorge Amado museum, even if you never heard of this great writer, commands a superb view of the historical centre. Inside you get to see a great display of the life and works of Amado with very interesting pieces that belonged to the writer and a chronological presentation of his every work. On... More

The museum is lovely. There are a lot of employees that are bilingual, so it really helps when you want to know more about something. There is an upstairs view of the city, and its absolutely beautiful. The museum has a good collection of Jorge Amado's belongings and works. It's worth the visit.
