Part of the architectural tour takes us from the tip of the old city, Pelourinho, down to Comércio, a relatively contemporary part of the city that was built over the port and coastline of Salvador. This connection (the Elevador) between Cidade Alta e Cidade Baixa - upper and lower city - is parts architectural (these guys are standing in the arm of the Elevador, built in 1910), and socio-political (the Elevador was built well after more than two generations of slaves carried the foundation of Salvador up the hills on their backs).
