the neighborhood was a rural area from its foundation up to
the 1960's, with green preserved areas, dirt roads and small houses.
but when the international airport of galeão, antónio carlos
jobim was planned, the neighborhood had to disappear in the name of progress.
following the expansion of the airport and the vanishing of
the neighborhood of
itacolomi, the beach was transformed to the point that all
that is left nowadays is a big lot next to the bay, covered in bushes.
