Sobrado Azulejado

Commercial and Office Buildings

Sobrado Azulejado is a late 19th-century commercial building in the Comercio district of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, near Praca Cayru and the Mercado Modelo. Built for business operations connected to the Port of Salvador, the four-story brick building in an eclectic style is entirely faced in Portuguese-made blue and white azulejo tiles, with twenty doors and seventy windows each framed in tilework. Brazils national heritage agency IPHAN listed it in 1969, and ceramics researcher Udo Knoff has called it the most azulejo-tiled building in the Bahia region.

Has Building Type

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
