Pituba (neighbourhood)

Joventino, which was mining, has brought with it the idea to deploy in a Pituba equal to the modern structure of Belo Horizonte, with blocks divided strategically, wide streets and many beautiful spaces for housing.

The project of blending was published in 1919, with a report signed by the civil engineer Teodoro Sampaio, and approved by the City of Salvador in 1932.

The rummage of the land established the opening of 10 routes parallel to the shoreline, some of which were denominated boulevards, and 15 cross perpendicular to the first.

It was established in a document of 1915 that the mainstream of the streets, then known as Estrada's Pituba, would be called Avenida Manoel Dias da Silva, formalized by the Municipal Law No 1664 of December 2, 1964.

In 1999, the Avenida Manoel Days went through a reform, having extended its sidewalks and street lighting, giving it a more cosmopolitan air and becoming one of the most valued neighborhoods of the capital Bahia, being recognized for their services and various shops.

The Pituba, in addition to the various plazas and the City Park, has a myriad range of options for leisure and entertainment: bars, restaurants, theaters, galleries, nightclubs, among others.
