Facts and practical information

Casa Nobre de Jequitaia, also known as Casa à Avenida Frederico Pontes, is an unused residence in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It is located in the Calçada neighborhood and likely dates to the 18th century. It was once connected by a corridor to the Casa Pia and College of the Orphans of Saint Joachim, an architectural complex that consists of a chapel, school, and orphanage. Casa Nobre de Jequitaia has two stories and is typical of Portuguese colonial architecture in Brazil: it consists of two stories and a small attic. The ground floor served as an entrance and housing for slaves and servants, the upper floor for the owner and his family; the small attic was used for bedrooms. It was listed as a historic structure by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage in 1938. ()
