Aqueduct with white arches, 1.7 km long, where the tramway runs from the center to Santa Teresa

Built in 1744, this aqueduct is one of the main spatial markers of Rio. The setting is a typical example of the city's architectural "fusion", mixing the modernism of the Petrobras headquarters with the futurism of the São Sebastião Metropolitan Cathedral. The white arches of the aqueduct and the esplanade in front of it form a real movie set. The tramway(bonde) from the center to Santa Teresa passes over this arch. A 1.7 km section has been reopened to Largo do Guimarães. However, the neighborhood is not very safe.

Aqueduc imposant en plein cœur du quartier Lapa, proche de la cathédrale à l'architecture particulière. Les lieux sont très animés certains soirs avec de nombreux stands pour se restaurer et boire des cocktails.

Etonnant ! en plein coeur de Rio, dans le quartier de Lapa, ce magnifique aqueduc, bien conservé.
Endroit sympa, animé, près des bars à musique, du quartier Sta Teresa et des escaliers Selaron
