Largo da Vitória, in Salvador, bears a bust in his honor. Pedro Celestino da Silva notes that this monument was initially erected in The Aclamation Square, and was later moved to the square. It also records that this was given as "a preito of longing and gratitude to the beneficent citizen who, by his civic and private virtues, left his name entirely linked to the history of Bahia, for his immaculate honor, for his greatness of mind and for his unfailing political loyalty". The monument was authorized by municipal resolution no. 144 of January 4, 1905, and inaugurated on May 13, 1911,by governor João Ferreira de Araújo Pinho and intendant (mayor) Antônio Carneiro da Rocha. The monument bears the following inscription: "Dr. in Medicine by the Faculty of Bahia; volunteer of the Paraguayan Health Corps;. provincial deputy; state senator; member of the Constituent; Intendant of the Municipality of Caetité, where he resided, and Governor of this State."SILVA, Pedro Celestino da.
