In this book, Luiz Walter Coelho Filho contextualizes the planned city of Salvador by situating it in time and space, and analyzes its design, urban plan, and purpose, presenting it as an integral part of the social, political, and economic state of affairs at the time. His research utilizes documents and analyzes facts, interprets texts and urban lay-out, and draws on history, science, rationalism, and fiction. "The Fortress of Salvador in Colonial Brazil" is the fruit of research and passion, knowledge and adventure, dedication and perseverance. Translated by Catherine V. Howard.
