at a glance

the connection between portugal and brazil is old and still very much alive - in fact, since the discovery of brazil by the europeans to the modern days, the south american country never forgot its roots. constant trade of ideas and concepts was maintained between both sides of the atlantic.

due to this, and as a lively statement of fashion and modernity, several architectural landmarks in rio de janeiro were made in a style very much reminiscent of the classic european approach.  

the famous boardwalk of copacabana, commonly called called 'calçadão', commissioned by mayor pereira passos in 1906, is a clear testimony to this bond.       arrow-back     arrow-forward
