	Pelourinho: The Complete Salvador-Bahia Online Guide!
		Pelourinho is the Old City, the old heart of Salvador, with colonial-era buildings and winding cobblestone streets.
		Pelourinho has an interesting place called "O Cravinho" (literally: "The Little Clove") where the approach to cachaça is something akin to that of a Frenchman to his wine, or a German to his beer, or a Scotsman to his whiskey.
		Pelourinho's senzala was located behind the Colégio dos Jesuitas (which stood on the site currently occupied by the old School of Medicine), where it stretched out and across the hillside descending from behind the houses on Rua Alfredo de Brito (originally Rua Portas do Carmo) to the cidade baixa (lower city).

		Der Schandpfahl oder Pranger - in Portugal der pelourinho - war schon im frühen Mittelalter ein Akt des Strafvollzuges.
		Die Strafe bestand nicht nur in der öffentlichen Schande, welche der Verurteilte ertragen musste sondern auch darin, dass es den Passanten erlaubt war, den Verurteilten zu beschimpfen, zu beleidigen, mit Gegenständen zu bewerfen und zu schlagen.
		Das einzig erhaltene Teilstück des pelourinho in Silves ist die blumengeschmückte Krone auf der Steinsäule - ansonsten hat man versucht, das kleine Monument nach alten Beschreibungen wiederherzustellen - eine Zeichung oder ein Foto von dem original existiert nicht.

		O irônico é que esta reforma empreendida no Pelourinho em função, também, do Olodum retirou de suas residências muitos moradores para que este local se tornasse, ao menos, mais atrativo aos olhos dos turistas.

		Podemos dizer que a revitalização do Pelourinho se deu devido, também, ao sucesso obtido pelo Olodum tanto internacionalmente quanto nacionalmente.
