Salvador, Brazil
Casa de Azulejo
The Casa de Azulejo is a 19th-century historic home in the Saúde neighborhood in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It was built in the mid-19th century as a large urban residence for the family of the businessman Joaquim Vitorino da Rocha, but its garden was lost to the dense urbanization of Salvador in the 20th century. The house retains its large collection of exterior azulejos, or Portuguese tiles.
