Engenho Vitória is a sugarcane mill founded in the nineteenth century, located on the banks of the Paraguaçu River in the countryside of Cachoeira, Bahia, Brazil.[1][2][3]
History[edit]
The year 1812 marks the beginning of the construction of Engenho Vitória, on the banks of the Paraguaçu River, an important watercourse in Bahia, near Cachoeira.[4][5] The work was sponsored by the Commander Pedro Bandeira, an important merchant of his time and one of the pioneers in the use of steam navigation in Bahia.[6][7]
Built in the period of Colonial Brazil, the Engenho building is connected to the slavery process in Brazil, as it was a place that used slave labor during its operation as a sugar business.[8][9][10] The mill consists of a three-level sobrado, based on an architectural project that imagined the construction of the building with a "T" shape.[6] The building includes covered access between the engenho and the sobrado.[4] There is also a marble hall, chapel, storage room and a room for the slaves.[9] The building also has an attic – later renovated and expanded.[6] The property also mentions Bandeira's family, with references to his family on the door and the Muniz family coat of arms carved in marble.[4]
