    • Abstract:
      The objective of this text is to present part of Brazil's culture, architecture, religion and way of life through the history of the African slaves who were brought to the country and their descendants. This article suggests a connection between architecture and rite, analysing the quilombos as a place of refuge for the slaves, the candomblé as a celebration rite and the religious festivals such as Nuestro Senhor do Bonfim. The text focuses specifically on Salvador de Bahía and its Barrio del Pelourinho, a place that both sums up and represents the whole culture, the physical and immaterial heritage of African (now Afro-Brazilian) culture.
