Exceptional archaeological site, where nearly a million African slaves landed in Rio between 1811 and 1831

This exceptional archaeological site was uncovered during the construction of the Porto Maravilha. It was the landing dock for nearly a million African slaves in Rio between 1811 and 1831. 15 years later, the dock was transformed for the marriage of Princess Teresa Cristina to Emperor Don Pedro II and was renamed "Empress's Dock". Between 1850 and 1920, the neighborhood was populated by former slaves or freed slaves and earned the nickname "Pequena Africa". It testifies to the extent of the triangular trade in Brazil.
