215-step staircase, a tribute to the Brazilian people, decorated with azulejos by Chilean painter Jorge Selarón

In 1990, the Chilean painter Jorge Selarón, in homage to the Brazilian people, embarked on the Grande Locoura (the Great Madness): painting and decorating the stairs of a whole street, between Santa Teresa and Lapa. Taken by passion by the azulejos, he then sets about covering the 215 steps of this staircase with them. The tiles come from all over the world, sent by visitors who fell in love with this work, or gleaned by the artist himself. An ideal stop at the end of your visit to Santa Teresa, it will take you to the rua Joaquim Silva, in Lapa.

Quel escalier original ! L'inconvénient vient du fait de sa célébrité... ce lieu attire vraiment beaucoup de touristes.
L'artiste chilien qui habitait cette rue a souhaité décorer cet escalier et l'égayer. Il a utilisé des faïences du monde entier.
Une fois que l'on a escaladé toutes les marches, continuer dans les petites rues de Santa Teresa, une balade plutôt sportive....ça grimpe...

J'adore cet endroit complètement loufoque. Dans les détails, on très loin du génie artistique mais l'ensemble est de toute beauté.

The decoration of this staircase can reminiscent of the park Guel de Barcelone. It is very pretty, but it is not a visit unmissable city...
