The Itapagipe Peninsula (Portuguese: [itapaˈʒipi]) is a peninsula located in the city of Salvador, capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia. The peninsula comprises Administrative Region III, including the neighborhoods of Alagados, Boa Viagem beach, Bonfim, Monte Serrat, Ribeira, Uruguai, Mares, Roma, Caminho de Areia, Vila Ruy Barbosa, and Massaranduba, among others. Rua Fernandes Viêira and Avenida Afrânio Peixoto roughly form a boundary between the peninsula and the city of Salvador. The Church of Our Lady of Penha (Portuguese: Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Penha), one of the earliest structures, occupies the northern tip of the peninsula.[1][2][3]
