Last city walk in Rio

After the tram we continued to do a walk a bit more for a few extra sights to see.

The old aquaduct that looked straight out of Rome, formally water and now for a tram.

Metropolitan Cathedral which is a cone shape. From the outside I personally think it looks terrible, but it is much better looking in the inside. It was designed and finished in 1979 to replace the original church which was not big enough for the growing population at the time.

Ladeira da Misericórdia, also known as Mercy Slope, is a historic street. Named after the Misericórdia Church, a prominent religious institution founded in the 16th century by the Portuguese crown to provide assistance to the poor and sick. The church was part of the Misericórdia Brotherhood, an organization dedicated to charitable work.

We even happened to walk into a central market area where people were hustling and selling literally everything you could imagine. Mainly cheap imports though.Leggi altro
