In 1990, Selarón began the work on the staircase, which would later become one of the city's iconic landmarks.
The stairway, located between Joaquim Silva Street, in Lapa, and Pinto Martins Street, in the Santa Teresa neighborhood, is just five minutes away from the Lapa Arches. The work of Chilean artist Jorge Selarón, the stairway brings together several tiles from various parts of Brazil and the world. All colorful, it has been the setting for U2 and Snoop Dogg music videos, in addition to being the place chosen by cariocas and thousands of the city visitors for photographs. A place that has the face of the city and is a success. A must-see!
