Nazaré is a neighborhood in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The region of present-day Nazaré was chiefly rural until the 19th century. It developed below the Historic Center of the city around the freguesias, or historical settlements of São Pedro, Santana do Sacramento, and later, Nossa Senhora de Brotas. Avenida Joana Angélica, a broad avenue, crosses the neighborhood from north-east to south-west. The avenue is named for Joana Angélica, a Brazilian Conceptionist nun and martyr of Brazilian Independence. Joana Angélica was stabbed by a bayonet at the Convent of Lapa by Portuguese colonial troops. Nazaré is home to numerous historic structures of the city; it is additionally home of several government and academic centers.
