Where to stay in Garcia
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
A traveller weighing Garcia against the rest of Salvador is really weighing proximity to the Palácio da Aclamação Casa de Cerimonial e Museu against the depth of bed supply everywhere else in the city. Garcia is where Salvador lives rather than visits. Its listed addresses are a chapel, a museum of anthropology and a memorial to a theatre, none of which come with rooms attached.
The beds sit elsewhere in Salvador.

About Garcia
What are the main landmarks in Garcia?
The Palácio da Aclamação Casa de Cerimonial e Museu carries the weight of Garcia's short list, a ceremonial house and a museum in one, and the rest of the register is smaller in scale though not in variety. Four entries in all. The Museu Antropológico Estácio de Lima handles anthropology, the Chapel of the Holy Family handles worship, and the Memorial do Teatro Castro Alves keeps the record of a theatre.
Nothing grander appears on it.
What is the history of Garcia?
Garcia's past reaches the record through the names it keeps rather than through a charter. Aclamação is one of them, carried by the Palácio da Aclamação Casa de Cerimonial e Museu, which doubles as a ceremonial house and a museum. Castro Alves is another, held in the Memorial do Teatro Castro Alves.
A third belongs to Estácio de Lima, kept in the Museu Antropológico Estácio de Lima. None of them fixes a founding year.

Four listed sites mark Garcia's share of Salvador, from the Chapel of the Holy Family to the Museu Antropológico Estácio de Lima.
